I lived and grew up in Vandalia from 1953 to 1977…..the Airline Theater was a favorite until it closed in 1963. SOme I know contend it closed in 1965 but I am certain it was 1963 because I saw the last film that was on the bill- King Kong vs. Godzille….an Oscar winner for a 9 year old…. Can any out there verify the actual year it closed? I can be reached at the email address below:
