Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater，employees were busy sweeping
up popcorns and gathering coke cups．It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's
75-year history．This time，however，the cleanup was a little different．As one group of workers carried
out the rubbish，another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the
building's end．
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater．Though the
movie is 30 years old，most of the 250 seats were filled with teary- eyed audience wanting to say good-bye
to the old building．Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed
appropriate．The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down．
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete．He
added that the theater's location（位置） was also a reason．，
said．．
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a
museum and public meeting place．However，these plans were abandoned because of financial
problems．Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm，which plans to build a
shopping complex on the land where the theater is located．
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time．After 75 years
the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie．The theater will be missed．
