Opening night for the Jerry Lewis Cinema in the Delta Plaza was January 10, 1973 playing “Thoroughly Modern Millie” (as at left). But franchisee Donald Quigley apparently didn’t make it through two full months as ads say “new management” beginning March 5, 1973 (see “Cabaret” ad #3 at top). Then the theater closed in April of 1973 and re-opened late that month. The theater closes again soon thereafter. On September 12, 1973 the theater comes back as the re-branded Plaza Theatre (Delta Plaza) showing “The Sound of Music.” The single-screen Plaza Theatre runs almost four years when it is showing “The Deep” on Sept. 1, 1977. The ominous Sept. 2, 1977 tells the tale: “Plaza Theatre closed.”
