The building is shuttered while Hyde Murphy architects brace the roof with steel girders. Wartime material limits push reconstruction to about three months. To avoid closing, Warner Bros. arranges screenings in the Centennial auditorium with sound moved to the school building. Showings begin Sunday at 2 p.m.
