Tempe History Society Lunch Talks
“The Harkins Influence on Tempe” By Dan Harkins
Heir, at 21, of his father Red Harkins’ five theaters, Dan, already general manager, developed what today are 500 screens in Arizona and other states. Harkins is an industry trailblazer for innovation, digital sound, plush seating, and gourmet snack bars. Constructed in 1938, the renovated Valley Art Theatre in downtown Tempe was the original Harkins theater. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.
