Construction in Midland, Tex., is expected to commence in about 30 days on
Cinema Park, a unique theatre complex featuring twin 350-seat auditoriums and
a 500-car outdoor theatre. A joint venture involving Midland Theatres, Midland,
and Video Independent Theatres, Oklahoma City, Okla., Cinema Park will occupy
part of a l2'/2-acre tract where the Fiesta Drive-In now exists. The old
ozoner will be razed. Completion of the complex is expected by year's end. Plans
for Cinema Park, which was designed by Whitaker & Hall architects and engineers,
Lubbock, call for sharing of a common concessions center and platter-equipped
projection booth. The first twin slated for Midland, Cinema Park is thought to be
the first of its kind in West Texas, and possibly the first in the entire state, Paul E.
Cornwell, Video Theatres vice-president in charge of operations, pointed out. The
project has been under consideration for several years, according to Mrs. J.
Howard Hodge, who operated Midland Theatres with her late husband for four
decades. She said the decision to proceed was spurred by the continued growth of
Midland and the location of Midland College and the new Midland Theatre
Centre nearby. Bernard McKenna, general manager of Midland Theatres, will
supervise the construction.
