Arcadia Theatre History Sees Transformation and Reopening

The Arcadia Theatre began as a dry goods store built in 1911 later becoming a modern picture theater in 1928 after Carl Johnson invested about 20000. It opened May 25 1928 with 400 seats and an Artic Nu Air cooling system. The Dzinks ran it 1960 to 1979, then sold to Winhoven and Shank who used it as storage until 1998. Galen Jansky bought and renovated it reopening February 11 1999, adding a second screen for variety.
