Nothing going on here. Still derelict. Don’t see how a music venue would make it there. Is no parking and a run down neighborhood.

I’ve never heard of this theater. It looks quite lavish. Did it close in the early 50s? What a shame.

Hibi commented about Severance Theatre on Oct 18, 2022 at 9:17 pm

Funny Girl played there in roadshow but it was not in 70mm in most engagements. Dolly was in Todd-AO, if it played at the Severance (I can’t remember) it must have been in that format as a roadshow, so they must have had that capability.

It only lasted 3 YEARS? What happened, I wonder?

Was there a balcony? Does anyone know?

Too bad this couldn’t have been saved somehow. C. Howard Crane was a noted theater architect. (Assuming there can’t be two of them). Wish there were pictures of the auditorium.

Surprised no one has mentioned this theater appeared as a location in the film, Far from Heaven. (interior and exterior).

The interior shown in Zodiac was NOT the Northpoint. It was a theater in LA. I’ve forgotten the name of it now.

Apparently this was right across the street from the Lincoln. Does anyone know what is there now? Was the whole block demolished?

What’s going to happen with the theater itself?

Hibi commented about Ohio Theatre on Nov 5, 2015 at 8:57 pm

Oh, I didn’t know there were 2 Ohio theaters. Wasn’t there another theater destroyed in that tornado where the Palace sits now? I think it may have been called the State?

The RKO Palace in Cleveland is also doing fine as a performing arts theater…….

How sad. That theater outlasted so many other theaters. Torn down for a McDonald’s. Progress.

The description of this theater is not true at all. It was not in bad shape when it closed.

Hibi commented about Mayfield Theater on Dec 12, 2012 at 8:37 pm

Nice to know this theater still exists. Years ago it used to show old classics. Wasnt there another Mayfield theater in Mayfield Heights? I think that was why this was called the OLD Mayfield.

Hibi commented about Loew's Park Theatre on Dec 12, 2012 at 8:15 pm

So that explains why I never saw ads for it. It was long gone. Thanks for that info.

Hibi commented about Loew's Park Theatre on Jun 7, 2012 at 9:16 pm

Does anyone know when the Park ended as a theater? I dont remember seeing ads for it in the 60s papers, but I was a child back then, so could have missed it……

What a beautiful theater. I hope concert audiences dont ruin it!

Sad to see what this theater has become. Didnt My Fair Lady play here? You’d never know it now!

Hibi commented about Village Theater on Feb 22, 2012 at 10:17 pm

I remember Lion In Winter playing here as a roadshow attraction. Was that its first booking?

Hibi commented about Apollo Theatre on Dec 20, 2011 at 8:15 pm

What’s going on with this theater? I drove by recently on the way home to visit my family and the marquee was gone and it appeared closed but had some sort of construction going on. Is it being remodeled? I was afraid it had closed and was being turned into something else. I used to go there a lot when I was home from college. Was the only theater for many miles around that booked foreign films…….

I cant believe they are going to carve up this beautiful theater after spending so much money to restore it. Have they started this desecration yet? Horrible!

Hibi commented about Garden Theatre on Nov 4, 2011 at 4:34 pm

So happy to see this theater put to use. It has been sitting there idle for many years. I’ve always wondered what it looked like inside. The theater was still open when I moved to town, but was showing porn then so I never did get inside. A shame the balcony is gone. A local theater company put on a production of Follies recently. I hope they make a go of it. Parking is a real problem in that area………

Hibi commented about Westgate Cinema City on Nov 18, 2010 at 9:56 pm

I have many fond memories of going to the Westgate in the 70s when I was home from college in the summer. I seem to remember more than 4 cinemas however. Werent more added as time went on? Sorry to hear it’s gone. The mall too! Awful.
