Despite the movie, it would be worth spending that much time enjoying this classic college cinematic retreat. Originally named the Toy Theater, built in 1915, it closed a few years later and was used as a parking garage until 1938, when it became the Avon Cinema. A treasure amongst the mixed-bag of Thayer Street and Brown University.
Good popcorn.
I saw Alice's Restaurant and The Poseidon Adventure here when they first came out! Nice to see the marquee in watercolor, and to know about the popcorn these days...
