The Cort was part of the Rapf and Ruden Co. in 1963. President was Arthur Rapf. The only other theater in the chain at that time was the Gramercy in New York.
The building on the northwest corner is larger and equally interesting architecturally. It’s in bad shape now, essentially abandoned. I imagine it will be demolished soon. I can take a picture of it if anyone’s interested.
The “Fremont Street” experience is not for me. Old, crowded casinos, lots of pushing and shoving and too many tourists eating deep-fried Twinkies. I’ll stick with the Strip.
In 1980 it was listed as the New Clayton in the IMPA. It was then part of Midway Theaters of Rehoboth Beach.
It’s a good bet that all theater were closed that night, as well as in the rest of the country.

The photo caption says Finland’s largest movie theater, so 14 screens would probably be the one.
But do they have a butcher shop?

What gave it away that it was an adult theater? 8-)

I was referring to the post by the person who went there in 2007. If it’s still a post office, then it stays a post office.
It looks pretty small for a skating rink. They must have been bumping into the walls a lot.
Looks like the function should be changed to retail.

Take a look at the interior photos of the State I posted a few months ago. That could be quite a venue.
The 1981 IMPA shows these Video Independent theaters in Lawton:
Vaska, 82nd Street Twin Drive-In, Video Twin Theater, Showcase Twin.
In 1970 the lineup was a bit different: Lawton, Diana, Vaska, Ritz, Auston Drive-In, Capitol Drive-In.
I think you’re right. I was looking at that close to six a.m. Not at my best.
It looked like five-something to me, but it could be a six.
Snow White was playing at the Surf Theater.
