I remember going to The Warner in the early to mid 1970’s. This place was great it showed all the Disney movies of the era as well as having double features. The screen had beautiful red velvet curtains and when the theatre was full they would open up the balcony. In order to purchase tickets you had to wait outside and if the movie playing was popular you waited quite a while. However once the Showcase Cinema opened a few miles away with 4 screens at that time The Warner soon closed. I no longer live in that area but I’m told the downtown district is going through a revitilization wouldn’t it be cool if someone opened a nostolgic single screen theatre in this area. Lawrence was very well known in the 1950’s and 60’s for all the theatres in the city all which have long closed
