Opened on May 25, 1973 as the Beacon East I & II with “Man of La Mancha” in Screen 1 and “Soylent Green” in Screen 2. A third screen was added in December 1984 and a fourth was added during the 1990s. Showcase Cinemas was one of its operators.

I saw many, many movies here as a young man, and I’m almost positive that this was the theater that I saw the original Star Wars at in May, 1977. Sad to see that it is gone.
