When I was a kid, friends and I would go to the movies all the time at the United Artist and The Penthouse (throughout the 70’s). I remember playing hookie and going to see “Dog Day Afternoon” at the United Artist side. It was such a cool theatre, like entering another world; not like the bland multiplexes we have today.
Wow, sad to hear it closed. I grew up watching movies there, it was kind of a sanctuary for me. If I remember correctly, the first movie I saw there was “The Golden Voyage of Sinbad” in 1974; I think the last film I saw there was “Terminator 2” in 1991. In between I saw a ton movies; the “Star Wars” films, “Superman”, “Alien”, “Raiders of The Lost Ark”, etc.
