What year did they split the theater into 4 screens?

I frequented this theater in the early 90s, all the way up to its closing, as a kid.

I remember going to Martinez Elementary school, and one year, the entire school spent all day walking from the school to the theater to watch a movie (I can’t remember which movie), but they would send us down there all school day by grade. And we walked!!! HAHA very exciting as a kid.

I vividly remember playing “Samurai Showdown” in the lobby of the theater, for YEARS.

I also remember an older, portly gentleman who would greet everyone that came in, and he was usually working at the concession stand.

The theater is now essentially Portman’s Music store
