I would not dispute that description. Compared to the Baronet it was not that phenominal at all. It never even had stereo sound. As for drab…it had the K-B carpet. The walls were Alpro in the theatres (think GCC of the day too). The theatre could do some business at times but mostly…a drab duplex fits the description pretty well.

According to Headley’s book on DC area cinemas, the Baronet West was a “tiny, drab duplex”

Jeff, I think you have your theatres off…the Baronet West was a theatre unto itself. Its only connection to the Baronet or the Bethesda was the K-B chain and its proximity to the original Baronet.

I the ‘50s it was know as the “Hiser Bethesda,” not sure of the spelling of “Hiser”, but I think it was the name of the owner.
