It doesn't do very well, as most people likely go to Omaha to see a movie on the big screens. Too bad really. <br /><br />This is a little gem. I love how it's been cared for. :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06116903234641971344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-3680939285014389622011-08-22T17:11:11.226-04:002011-08-22T17:11:11.226-04:00It's very cute and quaint!It's very cute and quaint!Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729819462354019534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-28382966301216402922011-08-22T14:42:35.167-04:002011-08-22T14:42:35.167-04:00I bet the interior is interesting to see too!I bet the interior is interesting to see too!EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640847503018468156.post-57131284902589125552011-08-22T14:08:52.951-04:002011-08-22T14:08:52.951-04:00Fascinating and a lovely old building...we've ...Fascinating and a lovely old building...we've got a similar one in downtown Ocala (probably not as old, though)...it's been remodeled and two groups have tried to revitalize movie-going downtown but it hasn't worked and if it hasn't closed down again it will soon.

An interesting article about the old Theater.<br /><br />Here in Reading there used to be 5 different movie theater's, but sadly exist no more. I can't remember their names, except just one or two. The old Astor Theater was known for many years for it's outstanding inside decor that is now in a museum. It was torn down to make room for a parking lot! The Park Theater was another one that was known for the decor inside, but is now gone to History. This was the Golden Age of the Movies back from the 60's.<br /><br />You got me on that "mouse toothed" shingle also.
