Listed as the New Henderson Theatre in the 1940 city directory
In fact, Charlotte-based Stewart and Everett operated two moviehouses in the greater Henderson/Vance County area…one was the EMBASSY THEATRE located Downtown,and the other was THE CINEMA 1 & 2 at Henderson Mall.
THE EMBASSY THEATRE was the last of the Downtown moviehouses in Henderson,and it closed under Stewart and Everett in 1985,when it came a discount dollar house. And this was before Carmike took over Stewart and Everett.
The only theatre that Carmike operated after the acquisition of S & E was the CINEMA 1 & 2,and it was renamed THE CINEMA TWIN.
Stewart and Everett were running this theatre by 1961. And they operated THE EMBASSY THEATRE until its closing in 1985. It was a discount dollar house when it closed in 1985.
Operated under Charlotte based Stewart and Everett Theatres. It closed in the mid-1980’s before Carmike acquired all of the Stewart and Everett movie houses.
There was an Embassy Theatre in Hickory NC.
