The Lyric Theatre closed on March 31, 1956 with Jean Simmons in “A Bullet Is Waiting” (unknown if extras added). Unfortunately, the Lyric building was almost destroyed by a fire after the neon lights on its marquee caught fire.
Cinemark took over the Windchimes on January 1, 1987 and operated it until October 10, 1993 when it was taken over by Platinum Cinemas. It was then independently operated throughout the rest of its history.
The Washington Square Cinema 4 opened its doors on June 22, 1984 by Gulf States Theatres. Judging by the look of the theater’s layout, it really does look like something coming out of Martin Theatres, but unfortunately it was Gulf States that built it and opened it, and it was never operated by Martin at all.
United Artists would eventually take over the theater shortly afterward. However during the 1990s, it went through a few different chains (Movies Incorporated and Silver Cinemas) before UA took the theater back. Regal would then operate the theater after the UA’s death, and Regal operated the theater until November 3, 2005. After that, it went through another set of different chains. Southern Theatres took the theater over followed by Wilcox Theatres afterward.
Last know as the Grand Theatre 4, it was closed in late-2014 and was demolished in 2021. Status should be closed and demolished.
