A Movie Theatre With (Egad!) Only One Screen

“Today, single-screen theaters are no longer endangered – they’re practically extinct, maybe 150 nationwide, a handful in this area. Some fill niche markets, showing art films or classics. Others have found new life as anchors for business districts, a means for generating excitement and driving foot traffic.” A new life is the hope for the 94-year-old Hiway Theatre of Jenkintown, Pa., about to reopen after a $1.6 million renovation.
