I worked at this theatre in the late 60’s while attending Fresno High School. I don’t really remember the name of the theatre at that time. I have so many memories of working there that I find it hard to believe that I don’t remember the name of this theatre. The Towne Cinema, Sequoia and Fresno Theatre all sound familiar.
Bill Korenbratt who managed Warnor’s at time also managed this theatre. He was an interesting man with a strong personality. He did not allow female employees to wear pants into work, even though they would be changing into their theatre uniform.
The Fresno premiere of “Oliver†took place at this theatre as well as “The Lion In Winter.†Can’t imagine how many times I must have stood through these films; I memorized all the lines.
It was mostly a second run theatre though, with titles like “Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner,†“April Fools,†and “To Sir With Love.â€
