The 650-seat Martin Theatre opened its doors as a single-screener on March 16, 1967 with Walt Disney’s “Follow Me Boys”. On its grand opening day, a local rock group called “The Rogues” performed next to the box office. The original auditorium features a Vista-Vue screen, pushback seats, and tangerine and gold decorations.

It was twinned on September 27, 1974 after diving its original auditorium, splitting into two with 322 seats each.

Here is a 2010 view of the Premiere 6.

The shopping center it is in took a direct hit from a small tornado around March 2009. The front looks considerably different from Jack’s pictures, which were taken three years earlier.

Many area residents were delighted that it reopened. This theater is locally owned. The picture and sound are good, the concession prices are reasonable by comparison to the nearby multiplexes, and they show 3 or fewer trailers and no unrelated ads before they start the feature! This is a fave, despite it’s plain appearance!
