this is the theatre I started my usher life at. richard komer sold it to rite aid. Komer owned the theatre and the shops that were in front of the theatre. He used to rent them out. there was a resale shop and a baseball card place there at one time. Rite aid opened up out the back of the 851 seat theatre. the box office, concession area and the doors to the theatre were preserved and can been seen along with 2 seats from the theatre when you walk by the front.

Chuck….According to the text included with the photo that I linked to, “The drugstore is entered at the screen end of the gutted auditorium at the other end of the block, and they preserved the old facade as a fancy "current events” billboard. Some old theater seats and other artifacts are on display in the drugstore’s entry."

LM, if you map the location it looks like the Rite Aid Pharmacy built at the end of the block and is using the stage area as part of the drug store. The theatre entrance is still there but at the other end of the block.

My Aunt and Uncle lived in Berkely. I saw “Five Easy Pieces” in this house in 1970 just before I graduated from high school.
