What a grand olde place - big curved screen, spacious balcony, and always the very best commercial films. I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, and Apocalypse Now at least 7 times each there as a lad. Later, saw the 2nd night of Alien, never seen so many people streaming for the exits as I did that night.

That went downhill in the 90s - filthy conditions and poor management ruined it.

Later, the Bethesda Cinema & Drafthouse opened with a new concept at the time, dinner/drinks and a movie - all in one location. I spent several very enjoyable evenings there. Now I'm down in So. Fla., where the movie experience is ruined by 18 screen cineplexes, ugh!
