When the Cape West 14 opened, this theatre briefly became a second-run house before closing.

Referencing archived issues of the Cape Girardeau newspaper, I can add/clarify the following:

1) The city name is misspelled twice in the header (which may explain why it won’t map properly).

2) The correct name of the theater, at the time of its opening, was “West Park 4 Cine” (West Park as two words and with accent symbol over the “e” in Cine).

3) The original operator was Wehrenberg Theatres.

4) The theater’s grand opening was May 13, 1983. (A Preview Grand Opening was held May 11-12, 1983.)

5) Debut bookings were “Blue Thunder,” “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial,” “Breathless,” and “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”
