This is now an Landmark. It opened as a Mann, which became Colorado Cinema, which was bought out by Kerasotes in 2007, which sold all but three theatres to AMC in 2010. AMC had to sell some theatres in the Kerasotes deal and this one sold to Landmark.

This opened as Cooper 70 in November 1963 and became Cooper 123 on December 24th, 1970. The grand opening celebration for this cinema was cancelled when President Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Cooper sold it to Commonwealth in 1975. I think it closed in the late 1980’s.
