For the first time in 81 years, the West Twin Cinema will have a new marquee sign hanging out front.
The original cinema sign came down for storage Monday afternoon, while the new sign was hung in place Tuesday morning. The theater is using a new company for the first time in the history of the theater, as Gordon Sign, which made the original sign, went out of business back in March.
“Never Say Die” starring Bob Hope and Martha Raye was the first movie to be displayed on the old marquee in 1939. It is unclear what movie will be the first one displayed on the new sign.
