Jack, do you have any info on this restoration? I live near this theater and would love to know what’s going on.

The status should be changed to “Restoring” as that a massive restoration of the Jewel is in it’s final stages with hopes of completion by May of 2022. Even in its current state of development, the interior commands awe, from the glistening marble floor to the detailed ornamentations, the theatre is a sensory experience.

Was operating as: Kitty’s Cine Art as per of the Kitty’s chain in 1985, according to the Theatre Trade Directory of 1985-1986. This should be added to previous names

The original theater was a burlesquse house with limelights across the front of the stage for light.
