“I find old movie theaters the most challenging to get inside, so we were glad to see the Max Theater in Sibley, Iowa was accessible. Opened in 1917 as the Royal Theater and was first in the area to offer A/C. The original name is found throughout, such as the "R” in the original floor tile, the original box office with the plaque from RCA Sound on it. You can find the original pictures, lights and the projection room door and ceiling and walls is lined with tin still (was told that film burns easily and tin was to keep the fire contained). Great visit!"
