The Transcontinental Theater’s Showcase Cinema was a luxurious complex constructed of glass & marble, with a winding staircase connecting the two levels of the theatre. The downstairs theatre was equipped with a 50 by 22 foot screen and 70mm projection.

The theatre closed in 1989, and the building is currently leased to a tool retailer.
