My cousin and I went to see Spartacus at the Nona. We stayed and watched the film three times in the one day, carefully rationing popcorn and soda.
When you entered the theater, the concession stand was to the right and just beyond that you turned right into the actual theater. I recall heavy maroon curtains blocking the entrances into the auditorium.
I also saw The 300 Spartans at that theater. Good memories.
