The marquee is long gone, it is currently retail space.
I attended the Leader Theater regularly from 1955 until it closed in 1959. My brothers and I would go on Saturday mornings to watch the always double-feature that would generally include something like an Abbott and Costello film and a Gene Autry movie. Even by 19957 standards the Leader was cheap at 10 cents admission. There was a small popcorn machine outside near the shoeshine stand next to the theater where your could get a small bag of popcorn for five cents. But, since there was lots of competition from the Cluster, Broadway and Apex theaters just a few blocks away, I think the Leader always struggled for business.
