Cyclops commented about Cinemart Theater on Aug 22, 2007 at 2:01 am

The Cinemart was twinned in late 1977, if I recall correctly, and I believe the last feature to play there when it was a single screen was “The Deep.”

Unfortunately the twinning job was somewhat botched as the seats were never realigned to face the screen, leaving them all to face the blank corner where the center of the single screen used to be.

The Norelco projectors were awesome – I was told they had to be lowered in by crane before the building’s roof was installed. God knows how they got those big suckers out.

I worked there for a brief time . .out of all the theaters that’ve gone dark around me I miss that one the most.

Does anyone remember that the building had a massive undersea mural painted on it in the late 70’s making it look like an aquarium ?
