Oh, I can beat that! I saw Earthquake there in Sensaround (sp?) in 1974, and it was phenomenal! The whole theatre rumbled and shook. You felt it in your seat before you heard it, and it was such cool technology at the time. The first movie I saw there, though was the re-release of the Sound of Music in ‘72 or '73. My best (worst) memory, though, was seeing Jaws there for my birthday in 1975, and then walking across the road to the Kingfish restaurant! Bleah!!

When we first moved to J-town in 1972, there were only two main cinemas, and they shared a big lobby. They added the others later; I think there were 6 when we left in 1976. It was always our first choice theatre, and I’m so glad I got to see all the epic 70s disaster pics on the huge screens that they had.
