I saw a re-release of Star Wars here back in 1979 or so, as well as Robocop (while it was still a triplex). After the 1989 remodel, it became one of my favorite theaters to see new movies (if not my favorite). I saw Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Jurassic Park, Batman, The Lost World (JP2) all in their initial runs here and many other movies here in the 1990s.

This was one of the typical Cineplex Odeon “Jewelbox” theatre built in the late 1980’s.

Typical Cineplex Odeon carpet, the same carpet is used in the Montréal area’s Langelier 6 (now Guzzo) and Cote des Neiges 7 (now Foutune)

This is my favorite Twin Cities cineplex. The interior has an art deco look and feel to it that in a way makes it seem like a glitsy classic theater. I’m glad that the original exterior front facade and marquee was save and incorporated into the new cineplex. I look at this theater and wonder why this kind of development doesn’t happen more often instead of complete demolition.

Here is an old street photo showing the Edina theater. It appears to be from around 1939 or 1940.

The architect of the Edina Theater was Jack Liebenberg (Seeman Kaplan his partner was the busnessman and engineer in the practice).

Architect is listed as “unknown” but first sentence credits (and correctly) Liebenberg & Kaplan. The correct entry in the architect field will get a truer search result when querying by “architect."
Thanks!
