The actual opening date is March 23, 1940 with Kay Kyser in “That’s Right, You’re Wrong” along with Disney’s Donald Duck in “The Riveter” and the Pete Smith Specialty “Stuffie”, featuring installations of RCA High Fidelity sound.

In the mid-1980s, it was renamed the “Teche Dollar Cinema”. It was still open in 1988, but may’ve closed later that year.
