I worked there in my junior year in high school, when it was still the Kendale Cinemas—projectionist and concessions stand. Colleagues were Chris Lamm, Joe Stansell, and a few others whose names I’ve forgotten. Mrs. Berryman, Eddy’s mother, was usually in the ticket booth. We screened An Unmarried Woman, Grease, Star Wars, many other memorable movies. The place was vibrantly alive on weekend nights in the late 70s—sad to see it so desolate now.

I worked there in ‘81, when I was a 19-yr-old college dropout. Bill Mawyer was the manager and I was the projectionist and ran the concessions stand in the lobby. Screened many memorable movies that year, including the one mentioned in the post above. Also An American Werewolf in London, Stripes, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Arthur, Excalibur, and many others. It’s sad to see it disused and long-empty now—it was pretty lively on Friday and Saturday nights back in the day.
