You could see this theater’s screen from a small section of Interstate 91. Sometimes people would park on the side of the road when XXX films were being shown.

This was a marvelous theater. My family owned and operated an adjoining business from the 1930’s to 1980’s. The businesses were linked via amazingly spooky subterranean passages. I regularly saw films there throughout the ‘70s, last one being in '82 or possibly '83. I recall lots of ornate forms, gold gilding, murals, and a massively vaulted ceiling, but I was young and it’s been a long time. Emil, the gentleman who ran the place for many, many years, was a notable character.
