My father owned this theater for years. It was a wonderful place when he remoldeled it. He took great pride in presenting a nice place for that community. He worked for Pepsi Cola full time and had worked in a movie house as a kid and developed a love for owning his own. My mother sold the theater upon my father’s passing. I have so many great memories in that place. We were not residents of the community but my father was a long time business man in St. James. He loved the area and choose to be buried there.
After remodeling the seats it only had 325 seats. He generally ran 2nd run movies but every so often he would have a first run. In the beginning our family ran the theater together. It was a family establishment and we did take pride in the appearance and it was lovely right down to the walls lined with curtains.
