having worked at the Sunrise Mall theatres and still alive to talk about it, I would have to say it was the biggest shithole I have ever seen. Roaches, unbelievably filthy floors, some of the strangest coke head weirdos I have ever encountered who were the managers, etc… But what really sticks out in my mind was what had taken root to the bottom of the punch/lemonade machine. It was like a mutant form of sea monkeys that we were afraid to clean without hazmat suits on for fear if we ever had children, they would have three eyes and a triangle shaped head.
One of the best things about Bob T running the 150 was the time he took to decorate the theatre with one-sheets from past films of either the star or director of the film being shown – For “Purple Rose of Cairo” for instance, I remember posters in the lobby from “the Front” and “Manhattan” – only problem was the occasional dim bulb who actually thought “Sleeper” was playing and didn’t quite get the whole woody Allen theme concept!

Regarding the balcony – when the heat was turned up – it would ger REALLY warm. Just ask Ralph Macchio.
