Grand opening ad as Jerry Lewis February 20th, 1972 has been uploaded in the photo section.
Exactly Stephenvb. The Jerry Lewis model was for smaller size theatres. I know the twin my father and uncle worked at as projectionists seated 290 in each theatre. They had a great idea but letting people into the business who had no knowledge of running a theatre, and expanding way too fast is what killed them.
Seems a bit odd that this theatre had 600 seats for a single screen. Most, if not all Jerry Lewis singles were 350 seats or less. The twins were usually 600 seats.
Auditions were recently held at the theater for an untitled Christian comedy film, according to the website.
The church is called “Polaris Christian Church Cinema”, according to this group that was auditioning actors for films. Definitely some movie-related things going on here:

Closed in 2003.
A church took over the Brunswick Cinema, and is now known as the “Polaris Cinema”. Church services are held every Sunday there, and Christian-themed films play occasionally…although I’ve never seen them advertised in the local newspaper.
