August 9, 1962 - The first movie shown at the St. Louis Park Cooper Theater was the "Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm," on this date. “The ad in the Minneapolis paper had a list of places in outlying cities where one could buy tickets, and a coupon one could send in to buy tickets in advance. When the Cooper played Cinerama, it was “hard ticket” meaning a patron bought a ticket for a specific seat.”
The Cooper was one of only three theaters in the country to be specially outfitted for Cinerama, which used three film projectors synchronized to make a panoramic image.
