ACT III did the best thing to this cinema by closing it on June 24th, 1993. article posted.

I was a Union projectionist in Seattle at the time that this non-union theater opened. It’s owner, “Luxury Theaters” of Portland, OR was well known to cheaply build and operate theaters. I went to one of the opening weekend shows as a “spy” for the Union local. The opening was a rush job, the lobby was not yet completed. There was no concession stand, just a couple of 6 foot folding tables with candy displayed on them. Just a small table top popcorn popper with bags of pre-popped popcorn on the floor behind. Auditoriums were very plain, all mono sound and poor sound isolation between auditoriums. I could clearly hear audio from the theater on either side of the one I was in. The Union Local (IATSE Local 154) maintained an informational picket line outside for the first few years of it’s operation.
