I remember seeing the original “Planet of the Apes” during its first run at the Temple. What a spooky theater for conjuring childhood phantasms! One of my childhood memories was of my older sister being scared there, because she looked up into one of the curtained organ chambers and thought she saw someone looking down into the auditorium from there. Shades of The Phantom of the Opera! Great childhood memories.
I just saw the show Holiday on Ice, what a thrill. It was wonderful to see the Temple look exactly as it did to me 40 years ago….and better, like new. They did a fantastic job in bringing it back to life. I hope the Saginaw residents will spend their money and support the shows that will be brought to us so we can enjoy the past into the future.

The Temple Theatre and Shrine Mosque were designed by Osgood and Osgood of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The theatre was originally leased and operated by the W. S. Butterfield Chain.
The style is not Art Deco. Once I was told it was RoCoco but the firm that did the restoration disagrees.
The Temple currently is a live stage house and shows Rep. and First Run Art films in 16, 35 and 70mm. Sound is analog stereo and DTS stereo and DTS Digital.

I have yet to find a web site or E-mail address for the Temple Theatre, but their phone number is 989-754-SHOW.
The Temple has been undergoing a multimillion dollar restoration, and is scheduled to reopen in November of 2003.
