I checked out the theatre’s website on September 22, 2025. It mentions that an addition was constructed and the theatre now has two screens. To prove this is true, two movies are scheduled tonight at about the same time. One movie starts at 9:00pm and the other at 9:15 pm. One film is “Spinal Tap II” and the other is “The Long Walk.”

Years later, in the mid-1970s, former Governor John W. Bricker was the guest speaker for a class that I was enrolled in at Ohio State University.

Surprises: Canton, Ohio-born Peggy Ann Garner gets top billing over Randolph Scott and a rare non-Western role for Scott, after World War II. Correction: The ad year should be 1946.
