Old school theater, I like it....

Beautiful pic Brandon. That cinema looks like a treat

There is a one screen theater a stone's throw from my house... they are celebrating their 75th anniversary this year (although it may be the last year    ... they don't have a DCP and it's not looking good.)

Anywho.. they posted this picture on their FB and I wanted to share... pretty cool.
I can't make out either poster, but the one on the left appears to be a woman in a bikinni when zoomed in.

This is an old theater I use to go to as a kid. Now they use it more for live entertainment. A little information about the theater:

The Murray Theater is a theater located in Murray, a suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is one of the area's best examples of the Art Moderne style in theater architecture
The Murray Theater was built in 1938 by Tony Duvall, who built the Gem and New Iris theaters in Murray, and Joseph L. Lawrence, who built the Villa and Southeast in Salt Lake and the Academy in Provo. It opened on 28 October 1938.
 
The theater operated as both a first-run and second-run venue for motion pictures, and has been extensively renovated and redesigned during its history. The theater currently hosts cultural events, private parties, and functions as the primary venue for the professional wrestling promotion Intermountain Wrestling Revolution.


Here it is in 1938. Just click on the link

Another picture of the theater. Look like when it was being built. No posters up or anything.

Cool, Randy.

Although I've never heard of a Super Theater before.  What makes it Super?

Great pics Randy, it certainly has kept its style!

Randy, these kinds of old/new pics are so great. I think what I really like in your 2 photos, too, is that even with all the renovations you said had been done to it, they chose to leave in place the original, scalloped stainless panels-- the one below the box office window as well as on the left and right frames where OS or 3 sheets would have been put up. Also liking that the original red, vertical tiles were left, around the windows of the storefronts, too.

They should probably advertise the fact they have a copy of London After Midnight playing a little more widely...

I quite agree.

Cool, Randy.

LOL I don't know what makes it a super theater. The last time I was in that theater was when Forrest Gump was playing. I do not think they show movies here anymore. I believe it is live entertainment now. I do know that in the mid 90's I believe the theater caught fire on the inside so they had to renovate the entire inside.

The front still looks to be all original. I know the inside caught fire awhile back so they had to renovate it. Makes you wonder though if there was any old paper stored away somewhere in there. Next time I am in Salt Lake City I will have to drive by and snap some more up to date photos.

Impressive eagle eye there, HC.

That's like a 100 sheet or something ridiculous

[erik1925]

THAT would be some linen backing job!!

Incredible image there, Chris.

Wonder if the smaller circular  posters of their faces are around. They look really cool.

I think I see a hairy belt.

At that size it would look like Chewbacca's arm

Here she is in color too and the bottom pic shows the characters

Nice find!
