The Cinema, located a block away from the Keith-Albee, was originally known as the Orpheum Theatre.
It was a thriving 4-plex located in downtown Huntington for many years. Closed on November 3, 2011.

The Cinema is currently operating as a discount second-run theater. It seems to be doing well.

Here is a photo of the Cinema Theater.
The architect firm for the Orpheum was Ritter-Vickers and the architect was Verus T. Ritter of Huntington WV. The plans we have are dated with 3 different dates in 1915. I guess they were done in stages.
Just posted photos of the Orpheum/Cinema we have in our files.

“THE KARATE KID” for a Midnight show.A kid movie for grown-ups,which in my experience with Midnight movies,never in a million years would I book such a picture.Maybe folks up there don’t want edgeier movies at Midnight Movies.Strange booking.
I’m confused about the midnight/karate kid thing? Last time I checked we didn’t do midnight movies!
