Boxoffice of February 21, 1948 noted the opening of the Melody Theatre at Inkster by brothers Leonard and Bernard Brooks. The November 27 issue of the same journal noted that the Melody, which had opened on January 1, marked the establishment of the Affiliated Theatres circuit, which took over operation of four other Michigan houses the same day. Owners Leonard and Bernard Brooks and their nephew Arnold Brooks London had owned the Admiral and President theaters in Detroit for some time.

I love the marquee in the Water Winter Wonderland listing above: “Michigan’s Finest Adult Movies”. What a laugh.

Nice looking marquee for a XXX movie house.

Here is part of an 8/19/99 article from the Detroit News:

INKSTER — Demolition crews tore down the triple-X Melody Theater Wednesday to the honking of horns and cheers and applause of several dozen residents and officials.

The adult theater — which police raided numerous times to arrest customers on indecency charges — was an embarrassment to residents and a headache for elected officials since its most recent owners took over in 1977. Signs outside the Michigan Avenue theater advertised 25-cent peep booths.
