Northrup Theatre marks 85th anniversary with debt burn celebration
Krista Norton, manager for 15 years, oversees a debt-free milestone at Syracuse historic Northrup Theatre. Founded in 1930 by Frank and Maybelle Northrup, the venue opened with Footlights and Fools and became a landmark as the first talking picture between Garden City and La Junta. The 85th birthday event includes a mortgage burning and honors long family ties and Chamber of Commerce support that keep the cinema vibrant.
