The neon marque is also shown in the 1970 film The Honeymoon Killers, as the killers and their victim drive down Sunrise Hgwy to their house on Adeline Place.

Does anyone remember when a cocktail waitress from the steakhouse nextdoor was found murdered in her car in the parking lot behind the theatre? I think it was the late 60s.

When my father was growing up in the 30"s and 40’s it was a live burlesque house. Yvonne DeCarlo (Mrs. Munster) played there often.

It didn’t start out as a twin. In the early 60’s, you could go in at noon watch a bunch of shorts, then watch TwistnShout followed by another film, and stay for the whole thing all over again. In ‘68 they got in trouble for show X movies, specifically when they showed a coming attraction for the swedish flick 491 at 7 pm Saturday night when families filled the theatre.
