What chain operated the Paramount after 1955?
This theatre was open and showing first-run movies in 1967. My uncle saw Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger in “IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT” first-run at this theatre in February of 1968.
This theatre was still showing first-run films and “B” movies by 1970 before it close in 1971.

Carprog: The Paramount was open and still was showing first-run movies during the 1960’s until it’s closing in 1971. It was demolished in 1972. At the time of it’s closing,the Paramount and the Carolina were gone,leaving the Center Theatre as the only cinema located in Downtown High Point. The Center was still showing first-run features until it close in 1981,leaving the only movie theater standing in all of Downtown High Point.
The Paramount was open & showing movies in 1963. I was there.
