On March 4, 1968, the Crest Theater suffered minor damage from a second floor fire and not the main theater itself. Unfortunately, the fire happened during double children’s matinees “Treasure Island” and “Snow White” (NOT the Disney movies with the same names). The theater reopened a couple days later.
The Crossroads Twin Cinema opened its doors on April 27, 1979 with “Heaven Can Wait” in Screen 1 and “Buck Rogers In The 25th Century” in Screen 2. The same management also later took over operations of the Perry Drive-In the following year in 1980.
The Crossroads Twin Cinema closed for the final time on December 6, 1984 with “Missing In Action” in Screen 1 and “Oh God You Devil” in Screen 2 due to the lack of business and attendance according to co-owner Joe Davis, leaving Perry without a movie theater ever since.
The Muse Theatre and the Roxy Theatre are two different theaters, both operated by Martin Theatres.
Martin Theatres opened the Muse Theatre on April 10, 1950 with Jane Powell in “Nancy Goes To Rio” (unknown if extras added). It has an original capacity of 725 Airlift upholstered seats (with 475 seats in the orchestra pit and 250 seats in the balcony). The Muse Theatre was named after its original owners Mr. and Mrs. Pat Muse.
The Muse Theatre was renamed the Simco Cinema in 1973, and was briefly renamed the Perry Theatre in 1979 before closing as a movie house in the early-1980s.
The Midway Mall Cinema was opened by Associated Theatres on September 29, 1966 with “Fantastic Voyage”. In 1975, it was taken over by National Drive-In Theaters and was twinned on May 14 of that same year. The Armstrong Circuit took over in 1985 and the National Theatre Corporation was the last operator before closing it in late-1987.
I also found out that the Howard Theatre reopened a couple months after its November 1964 closure. It was still open as a movie house in 1965, but it closed later in the 1960s. The Howard Theatre would then become a music venue in the late-1960s and early-1970s.
