No idea. Just went out of business, I guess.

Late June, 1975. I remember there was a party for the employees at a nearly Kenmore Square bar.

I worked here for 2 weeks before it closed. It was playing “Blazing Saddles” the day I first met the man who became my husband. “B.S.” always seems romantic to me now.

I worked at the Cinema 733 in the summer of 1975. (Common phoned-in question: What time is the midnight show?) One of the best summers of my life. Randy wanted to teach me how to be a projectionist—or so he said! Double features for 99 cents: Bergman, Fellini, Bertolucci, etc. I got such an education there! (and not just in the booth)
