Boxoffice, Oct. 2, 1961: “Fourteen Walt Disney productions have been booked for showing this fall by Manager Charles Heitz of the Marcha Theatre. Heitz reopened the theatre late in the summer after closing for a thorough remodeling and renovation of the theatre’s interior. Improvements include 71 new loge seats, new wallpaper, new drapes and new booth equipment.”
Uploaded four pictures of the Marcha. In the 1939 full Main Street shot the vertical of the Marcha is visible in the right background. The 1939 closeup has Safeway on the left and a portion of the Marcha visible. The 1942 shot from a different vantage shows the new Marcha building facade. The final shot it of the Marcha as retail, The Emporium.
Built about 1934 and significantly remodeled in late 1936 by local contractor Carl Gentry, the Marcha was operated by Carl and Byrd C. Heintz, until 1948, when it was purchased by Mrs. and Mrs. Vaclav Kalina, who also operated the Broadway Theatre, in Malin.
