Used to take the future Mrs. to this movie house back in the early 70s. Just a plain mall movie theatre. Nothing fancy to it.

I don't have a picture, but in the 1970s there was a Jerry Lewis Cinema in the Delta Plaza in Escanaba. This was a small chain started by Jerry Lewis that began in 1969. The sign featured a line drawing of Jerry Lewis. The theaters were usually small and had mostly automated equipment. The Jerry Lewis Cinema lasted until the late 1970s in Escanaba before it closed.
