I have a December, 1912 program from this theater. It was a vaudeville house, but showing short films as part of the program. According to the program, the Grand will expand “next season” to a seating capacity of 1600 or more, more comfortable chairs, new Ladies' Retiring Parlor, Gentlemen’s Smoking Room, a new balcony and steam heat.
The theater doesn’t look very well now. The lobby appears to be a junk store or storage place with some veterans posters on display. Part of the roof may have collapsed.
A combined theater program for the Lehigh Orpheum and Lorenz Theatres in Bethlehem. They were definitely owned by the same company, as they were showing the same films this week, just on different days.
I just acquired a movie program for Lillian Gish’s LA BOHEME (1926). The back of it has a photo of Ted Henkel of the Forum Theatre. Unfortunately, there is no other information about Mr. Henkel or the Forum Theater.
The Majestic was definitely showing films in 1925. I’ve got a herald for THE BIG PARADE (1925) from this theater saying screenings were twice daily (2:30 and 8:30) and all seats were reserved.
Here’s a vintage theater program from January, 1927 from the Stanley Theatre. I have several more on my website. They apparently put on a big show in addition to the movies.
I have a program from 1917 for the “Family Theatre” at 3rd and Harris Streets. Do you think that it could be the same theater? It was printed in Philadelphia, but the city for the theater is unnamed.
Here is a Rialto Theatre program from July 27, 1919. Dorothy Gish’s NUGGET NELL (1919) was the main feature, and 10% of the ticket price went to the government for a war tax.
Even when this was a vaudeville theater in the early 1900s, there were still early movies on the program. The Silent Film Still Archive has two programs from 1907 and from 1908 showing Vitagraph actuality films on the program.
