Review & FAQ:

The Avalon Theatre was America's first movie theater specifically designed for the viewing of talking motion pictures, originally opened to the public in 1929. The theater has been honored with the Honor Award by the American Institute of Architects for its status as an outstanding architectural achievement of the early 20th century. Today, it still shows first-run and family blockbuster films, seating a maximum of 1,184 visitors. Original Art Deco-style murals by John Gabriel Beckman still adorn its walls, and musical performances from its historic pipe organ are still showcased on certain evenings before film showing.
