When the theater was around, the address was 4835 West Lake Street. Of course, much has changed since it closed almost 30 years ago, so it’s possible that’s how things got mixed up.
The reason I ask is that I would like to devise a blueprint for the Cooper theaters so that I may guesstimate how much it would cost to rebuild one in this area. If anyone has any information I may use in this quest to reconstruct the Cooper in MN, please email
Are there any other pictures of the Cooper that anyone has ahold of? That above mentioned website is great, but I’d like to see more of the lobby. Anyone?
If ANYONE has pictures of the inside of the Indian Hills (or the outside, for that matter) that do not look like the ones above, PLEASE let me know at I am DAMN interested in anything Indian Hills related.

Big Red, I would kill to see those pics. Any chance of posting them?
Are there any recent developments in what is going on with the Academy today? And does anyone know the exact location it sits?
ANYONE?

Images anyone? That would be sweet…
Any pics of the exterior would be greatly appreciated
If anyone wants to see a picture, let me know at
Many thanks to Ron Hunter for getting me a copy of the Saving the Indian Hills documentary. Anyone who loved the Indian Hills must see it.
So they’re not going to be showing movies then? That’s sad….
Does anyone know if there will be a Cinerama film fest this year?
Does anyone know what they are doing to the Varsity now, and what is taking it so long? It was going to reopen in November, now what?

Also, where can one see that documentary about saving the theater? I can’t find it anywhere…

I have a picture of the Capri if anyone is interested. Gosh, when will “add a photo” return, anyway? It’s been over a year!
