I worked there a couple of times changing carbon arcs in the projector. When I was there the movie showing was The days of Wine and Roses This would have been early 60's and the Teslucks were the owners.

I used to work there, changing the marquis and taking tickets in the 1950's, maybe 1954-55. I worked with a girl named Shirley Labadie. She sold tickets. Sam Burrows was owner and manager. There was no balcony when I was there. My brother, George Benko, was part owner with Charlie Whitebread.

The Maxine opened July 5, 1920. The first film shown there was "Romance and Arabella". It sat 650 people. Theres conflicting memories with town elders as if it had a balcony or not. It probably did. I am the proud owner of one of the pull chain urinals from the Maxine.
