The narrative says it opened in 1975, but this is off quite a bit. Tinseltoes posted Boxoffice article states it opened in NOV 67, which is correct. I worked there as usher then doorman in 1968 time frame, then my last job with Video Independent Theaters was as projectionist there in 68-69.
The projectors were old (but functional) and came from older theater that had been torn down. I think from the Tower (could be wrong on that), but definitely from older theater. The four track stereo heads were obviously much newer. The DC power source for the carbon arcs was rectifiers.
It was torn down and there is no trace. Marsha Sharp Freeway US 82/62 Brownfield Highway, goes over the south side of the lot.
