The Center Theatre was opened on January 31, 1964 with John Wayne in “McLintock”. It was equipped to screen 70mm film. It closed in the 1980’s.

If you Google Envy Nails La Vale Maryland, click on “See Photos” in the right margin. In the upper right hand corner of the main photo, you can see the original brick rooftop extension that once held the Center Theatre marquee. The marquee outline is there as well. As of 2016 the entrance was papered over and appears vacant.
