Here’s a report about the Movie Tavern in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
I visited yesterday. The foyer hall leading to the auditoriums have pretty sconces and Art Deco doors to the auditoriums. Two auditoriums each have 56, 86, 100 seats, and 180 seats. Accompanying the digital projection was surround sound. The 86 seat auditorium that I was in, watching a movie, had a screen that appeared about 25 to 30 feet wide and with large, beautiful Art Deco sconces. When visiting one of the largest auditoriums, I was told the screen size there is 52 feet wide x 27 feet high. In addition to mainstream films, there is a classic series including The Godfather and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Weekend evening movies sell out. The midafternoon movie cost $8.50.
