The Martin was across the street from the Lyric. It was not fancy, but it did have the biggest screen in Huntsville until the Madison and the Cinerama opened. In 1966, the admission for first run was $1.00. It was a good place to watch a movie, and it booked some good ones; I especially remember “Patton.”

The entry for James Franklin Scalf in the 1962 edition of the AIA’s American Architects Directory lists the Tony Theatre at Huntsville as one of his projects.

The Martin Theater is now “Sammy T’s Music Hall” and hosts live bands several times weekly. The building has removed all the theater seating and turned the screen area into a medium sized stage.

The Aztec style emblem on the Martin marquee actually spells “Martin”

Thanks to Jack Coursey for info.

Sorry lost. I have all my photos marked public. It seems to depend on one’s particular server to access the larger views.

Don….The link to the larger view isn’t working. It is asking for a password. You can probably view it but I can’t.
