My Dad managed this place in the early 90s for Gary Goldman until the day they shut it down, the neighborhood largely ruined a lot of the splendor the building had along with the fact that business was on the decline and the money wasn’t there to do proper maintenance at the time. The neighborhood and clientele were a little more dangerous then than they would be now.
I’m afraid there is no pipe organ in there. There’s a reasonably large stage, a dressing room or two, a decent sized basement are under the stage, a very small orchestra pit in front. In the early 90s the balcony was converted into two more screens.
It ran mostly second run with the occasional first run picture and had the best steamed hot dogs and metts you could get in Cincinnati.
I spent my whole life in the movie business, there’s not much of a market these days for small theaters that aren’t art houses. I left just last year for an office job.
