This was a GREAT place to watch movies in the 1970’s and 1980’s. It was not very ornate like the older movie palaces – it was very modern.
Back then, it was just one theater with a main floor and a balcony. The stage was very nice and I remember the golden-colored curtains that would open and close for each show. It definitely added something.
Whoever owned it must have been a film buff and also part showman. They always had something extra going on. When they ran Saturday Night Fever, I remember a HUGE sign they put up on the outside of the building with a 30' tall John Travolta poster. Not to mention, the mini disco in the lobby with the dance floor just like the one in the movie.
It was ALWAYS very clean – in a Disney theme park kind of way. Also, nicely air-conditioned in the summer and they had TONS of free parking. It was not unusual for the place to be full back then.
