The theater opened the next day with an ‘Aparama,’ showing four of the “Planet of the Apes” movies, which led up to the latest, “Battle for the Planet of the Apes".
At the time Dickinson Theatres operated 38 theaters in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. Their local theaters were the Vogue Theatre and the 81 Drive-In.
