Nostalgia trip…I was in theatre management and assigned to re-open the Cameo in 1970 area. The theatre chain showed fairly tame adult films, catering largely to the military from Ft. Lewis. I was there till about 1976.
Correct at about 300 seats. A very small front and lobby area that went directly center in auditorium. A mens restroom was located way down in front, left of screen. A very small ladies room was in the lobby. The projection booth was accessed on the street up a staircase. The second floor housed the office. Also on second floor was a Chinese restaurant which had a entrance on the street above Pacific as well.
Trivia: The theatre and Greyhound bus depot,(across street) were used in some scenes from Cinderella Liberty w/James Caan, (also locations in Seattle).
Noted by DeCoteau: I did start a small (50) seat theatre for classics and foreign films several miles from downtown, it was near a college. Maybe this was a recollection of DeCouteau? Altho the Cameo may have converted to classics after 1976.
