I was employed at the theater when it closed. UA owned it in the end (they also owned the Sunrise Mall 8). The last movie we showed was RAINMAN in 1988 and I gave the last two customers the one-sheet. I always loved that theater (still in the business). UA dumped it because single screen houses were not profitable enough, and because UA (in my opinion) was garbage. I had written (and spelled incorrectly) a farewell message on the peg board in the box office that night. It was printed in the Pequa Observer that week (local paper) – “Goodbye Farewell Amen” (stole that from MASH finale).
