The End For The Eagle

Pontiac's oldest movie theater goes out of business tomorrow when the Eagle runs its two adult X-rated movies for the last time. "We just couldn't make our expenses," said Albert Dezel, president of the Art theater Corp., in Detroit. "We just couldn't cut it." Dezel's firm has leased the theater for the past two years. The lease expires Sunday. The theater, which became a movie house in 1910, has been showing adult movies since Dezel acquired the lease. HE had to settle for adult movies because "all the first runa and second run were tied up," he explained. :The stuff we'd be able to show were last run." A block north of the Eagle, 13 S. Saginaw, is the campus Theater, which also shows adult movies. The Campus averages 100 patrons a day, an assistant said. "We'd be happy to get that,: Dezel said. Dezel said he believes adult movies are on the way out. "The trend is going to be away from these pictures shortly;" he said, :What can you show twice?"
