Like anything old, this theatre HAS seen better days, and has had alterations to keep it going, and it had odd odors at times… BUT look directly across the road and you will see the historic home of FDR, which many people visit every year, including the gravesite of Franklin and Eleanor who are buried in the Rose garden there… Yes, this theatre HAS seen better days,and I’m sorry if it sounds like a commercial but>>> for less than you pay at newer theatres, you get to see a movie AND sit in a building that has an interesting History. Ok, so maybe it’s not the main reason you go to a movie, but at least give THIS a thought the next time you go there>>> THE Roosevelts actually used to go here to see movies… sitting in a glassed in room on the second floor. I know because I grew up in this town, as did my parents before me. In the l950’s my parents took me there when I was a child and Eleanor still used to go there from time to time.
