Beach Theatre Closed

The Beach Theatre, which has stood since 1940, is now closed down.

The Beach Theatre's Marquee has been changed from it's normal movie times and reads "Thanks for the memories".

The Beach Theatre opened on January 15, 1940 with the film Dust Be My Destiny. Since then, the film has been continuously and playing movies every week, save for a year-and-a-half during World War II, when they were told by the military to suspend operations.

Owner Mike France had previously said on the Save the Beach Theatre website that he might be forced to shut down the theater.

According to a blogpost on Just Keep Swimming, The Beach Theatre closed down because of a dispute between of ownership between France and his wife.
