I can’t remember if I managed to see a movie at the Cooper before 1977, but I saw Star Wars four times there. I remember seeing the trailer for Close Encounters and then the movie when it came out. I saw Alien, but not Empire because my family moved to Evergreen in ‘79. I could only see Empire at the Cameo while my sisters watched The Jazz Singer at the Cooper. Ironically, Empire is the only original trilogy I didn’t manage to see on a screen as large as the Cooper’s, even the Special Editions. Return of the Jedi was the last movie I saw at the Cooper. What a wonderful movie theatre!
