The Metro Theatre close in October 1973 with “Gone with the wind” to a sold out audiece. As the last few feet of film went through the projector gate, a slide of “Leo the Lion ” was super imposed on the screen and the lights came up slowly, the sound of a lone piper then being heard as he slowly walked down the aisles playing The Last Lament. This truly was a wonderful tribute to this warm, friendly cinema that had always been popular. Many patrons were seen leaving with tears streaming from their eyes, remembering the good old days when they had sat in the theatre watching many a silent and sound melodrama through the years.
