Looks like the style would be Quonset Hut.
This was in fact a Quonset Hut. I remember running my hands against the outside walls after we had parked and were walking to the theater. There were Quarters inset into each of the front doors just above the key holes.
I saw many films in that place, but the only one that comes to mind is The Flight of the Lost Balloon. They actually issued each film- goer a pretend air-sickness pill as you entered the auditorium!
FEB. 26 1970 the manager was PAUL PIERRET who trained there and was later moved up the ladder to the new WESTWOOD theatre when it opened. DALTON BOUTIN took over the PAT THEATRE.
