This is the theater that I grew up in. I started going there in
the early 1970’s and saw all the great films there, many of them were
70mm blow-ups but they still looked and sounded great. The theater had a huge deeply curved Dimension 150 screen and big red rocking chair seats. I remember seeing “Logan’s Run” there in 70mm and before the film started they ran a short D-150 preview and as it played the screen masking opened until the full screen was exposed. I also remember being in a huge line around the theater to see the opening of “Star Wars”. The theater is still open but I haven’t been in it for many years. It a shame to hear that its run down but at least it is still open. For more info on this theater and pictures
