A nice close-up of the Wayzata’s restored marquee: Wayzata Theater marquee
Hi, my brother and I were always going to the wayzata movie theatre because we loved the employees and the movies, it was always a clean theatre, and we would go down the street to eat afterwords, we miss it terribly and wish it was still there, I will never forget the wayzata movie theatre,
My cousin lived in Wayzata for a couple of years in the early 1980s and went to this theatre somewhat regularly. He said that at the time the Wayzata name on the marquee lit up as did the bulbs on the soffit, but none of the decorative bulbs on the face of the marquee lit up. He also said there wasn’t much to see on the inside—I think it was all draped or painted over. I seem to recall him mentioning some ventilation grilles featuring some kind of Deco pattern, but that was all. It would be interesting if anyone else has memories of any kind of decorative scheme on the interior. I didn’t see the theatre myself until after its virtual demolition and the restoration of the original marquee on the new construction. I saw it in 2000.
