 Favorite Business  

 The Lamar Theatre  opened its doors November 15, 1946, as a single screen, 832-seat "High Art Deco" theatre. The auditorium seats 682 on the main floor and 150 in the balcony. The fantastic floral mural work, pastel color scheme, curved edges and corners, chrome, mirrors, glass blocks, terrazzo flooring, indirect cove lighting, neon, colored floodlights, and large stylistic marquee are classic to the Art Deco style.
