The Reynolda Cinema was not in Reynolda Manor Shopping Center, but across the street from it. Reynold Manor is at the corner of Fairlawn and Reynolda Road, not Silas Creek Parkway.
The Reynolda Theatre opened in 1967 as a 750 single screen cinema. By mid-1973,it was twinned,and by 1980 expanded to three screens before it closed in 1996.
Francis Coppula’s THE GODFATHER played here first-run at the Reynolda Cinema on March 22,1972.
Great shot of the marquee,nice they kept the one sheet frames.
The library kept up the original poster displays that used to greet patrons at the entrance to the theatre. I believe I only attended this theatre once in the early 90’s to see the Julia Roberts-Nick Nolte starrer ‘I Love Trouble.’ I remember one of the last movies they showed before closing was ‘The Glimmer Man.’
The former theatre is now the Renolda Manor Branch Library. Hardly changed at all in looks from Cinema to Library.

The theatre was located in the Reynolda Manor Shopping Center at the intersection of Fairlawn Drive and Slias Creek Parkway on the northern end of the city. It was operated under the Stewart and Everett Theatre chain and later on was owned and operated under the Martin Theatres chain and later by Carmike Cinemas.
Is the name Reynolda or Reynola? There is a listing for a Reynola Cinema at 2839 Fairlawn Drive, Winston-Salem, NC 27106
