The Mar opened in 1937, built in Art Deco style, including a large triangular-shaped marquee, with the theater’s name spelled out in neon-lit letters. Originally seating 500, in the late 90s, an upstairs storage space was converted into a second 100-seat auditorium. The Mar continues to screen first-run features on both screens.

I’d recommend this theater to anyone who is a fan of old style movie theaters like this one. They’ve done a great job of keeping it in good condition. Well worth the drive!
