Mack Avenue History

[Wheels]

This is all Cinema Treasures has one the Uptown. The Uptown Theater designed by Kohner & Payne opened in 1926 as the Mack Uptown Theater. Around 1959 it was sold and renamed the Uptown Theater which closed in 1963. The theatre had a capacity of 1,550 and Wurlitzer theater organ opus 1547 style 235.

There was a RKO Uptown on Woodward at Six Mile. It became the Six Mile Uptown. They must have been sisters?

Turns out that image is the Uptown Six Mile in the pic Cinema Treasures posted the wrong pic. Although the theatre does have a twin the Oriental Theatre that was located downtown.
