Loved going to this theater. Saw “Mary Poppins” and the all-day 5-film “Planet of the Apes” marathon here, among many, many others. And I loved that I could get a big pickle at the concession stand.
The Boxoffice article Tinseltoes linked to says that the Oak Village Theatre was designed by architects Richard B. Walton and Woodrow Bush.
The picture above was taken during the 4th week that the Oak Village was open…July 17-23, 1963. The theater opened on June 26, 1963 with Walt Disney’s “The Miracle of the White Stallions”.
A couple of photos of the auditorium of the Oak Village Theatre can be seen on this page of Boxoffice, October 21, 1963 (click + sign in toobar at bottom to embiggen, scroll up two pages to read the beginning of the article.
Wasn’t this theatre’s auditorium divided up into from smaller screens prior to it’s closure?
Right, in regards to Jack’s question. I think its name was also changed to Long Point Cinema then but I could be wrong (could’ve sworn it was called that; anyone remember?). It had five screens once it closed down.
reopened as the Long Point Cinema on June 25th, 1976. Grand opening ad posted.
Wow! I remember going there in junior high with my girlfriend, Ginger (from Landrum JH). We watched True Grit. She kept dropping her arm off of the seat into my seat hoping I would hold her hand. What a dope I was! Also, remember seeing Planet of the Apes and Escape from the Planet of the Apes. The last film I saw there was circa 1980ish when the theater played The Beatles' Let It Be as a midnight showing! Great memories as I grew up in Spring Branch.
Opened on June 27th, 1963. Ad posted.
It became the Oak Village Cinema in 1992. It switched briefly to Spanish language films. It had a brief run in 1996 as the Majogui Theatre. It returned to the Oak Village Cinema nameplate as a discount house in December of 1996. Cinema Services appears to have tried first-run beginning in 1997 and the last film listed there is “Halloween H20: 20 Years Later” on November 22, 1998. One of the next ads was for a gym at that address.
