In 1947 Neal Ellens was the manager.
One correction: The mode didnt have a balcony. The second floor housed the theatre’s restrooms and projection booth. Right inside the door of the theatre was the lobby with the concession stand and you could smell the popcorn cooking about a block away.

In its heyday in the late 50s and early 60s, the Mode was a great place to see movies. The building was and still is a three story structure. The second floor housed the balcony of the theatre and the third floor for many years housed Kelly’s School of Dance.
