Title: The Liberty Movie Theater in Camas WA goes DarkPost by: Azure1 on September 12, 2009, 06:47:30 PM
The Liberty Theater in Camas WA Closes it doors for the Final time.The theater was built in 1927 and was completely restored in 1996. The interior of the theater had 350 seats with a balcony! Included with the renovation was a state-of-the-art projector which delivered a bright picture and a new Dolby Digital sound system with over 20 speakers. In August of 1999 they added a smaller second screen. Movies played on the main screen first (1-2 weeks), and then moved over to the smaller one. The Liberty Theater had been supporting the Camas/Washougal community for 82 years. And now it's gone. Movie Patrons will now have to go to Portland, OR (a whole other State) or Vancouver WA about 10 miles to the North, to see movies at The Big Expensive $9.00 to $10.00 a seat Regal Cinemas.Vancouver also has The Old Vancouver Plaza Theater which for now shows movies everyday for $3.00. http://www.fandango.com/regalvancouverplaza10cinema_aaaqf/theaterpage (http://www.fandango.com/regalvancouverplaza10cinema_aaaqf/theaterpage) From what i heard, The Liberty Theater Owner who was Leasing the building, wanted to Buy it and was told No, so he Closed up and said GoodBye.It stood for 82 years And as usual it all came down to Money & Greed----SadIt was the Center of Camas and is going to put a Big Hurt on most businesses, especially Restarants, People would come for a Movie and then Dinner or Vise Versa.It was a Theater Full of Character with 2 screens, the one pictured below and a second smaller theater with aprox 30 to 50 seats. And a $6.00 Ticket PriceIf you look at the Top picture below, there is a door on the Right Side, that is the second theater. It is about 6 Seats Wide and 10 Rows back, or from the front of the building to the doors.Another Movie Landmark bites the Big One.Thank Goodness for Backyards
