1957… it was still open in 1977! It became an African American theater in 1955 and returned to segregated operation running blaxploitation films into the 1970s. Its star appears to have vanished on July 5, 1977 following a dollar night double feature of Richard Pryor in “Silver Streak” and Robert Hooks in “Trouble Man.”

There was a small photo of the recently opened Hollywood in Boxoffice, April 1948. It was noted that this was a segregated theater.
