Schine KCN: Thanks for the correction of the thought-to-be stained glass window. BTW, do you know Karen Noonan, president of THSA who resides in Geneva NY? She is a SCHINE expert and has helped me alot with my personal theatre research. At the moment we are involved in communication with Cass Warner, granddaughter of Harry Warner. If interested go to http://academics.sru.edu/warner/index.htm as this address will take you to the Harry M. Warner Film Institute which gives information about the upcoming Silent Film Festival (first silent film theatre was in the New Castle PA). Ms. Warner will be at the festival to sign copies of her book, Hollywood Be Thy Name on April 21st at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
David L. Williamson: You wrote on 8/20/04….“Last year I was in Green Bay, downtown and saw that they have restored a beautiful theater built in 1929. They have kept and preserved many of their old downtown buildings.” Do you have exterior/interior photos of the theatre in Green Bay? And what is the name of that theatre?
I’ve been comparing photos between the above photo and the one seen in an issue of Marquee magazine. The vertical Warner sign is long gone after the name change to Grand Theater. “Mo one can figure out how to make a sure long term profit when the city has said that it will NOT come to the financial rescue of the property.” These are sad words from an 8/29/05 post. The interior photos as seen in Marquee show it to be very opulent and worth coming to a financial rescue!
Very interesting to see and read about the China White bar in the back of this theatre! I’ve never seen this idea…can’t imagine how one would hear the movie with a loud bar, too.
I just went through the list of theatres that were or are still in Akron and it numbered 23! That is quite a remarkable number of theatres, on record, for one community!
Not much known about this theatre as it reads mostly…unknown, unknown, unknown. Can anyone provide a photo of this theatre in Dean’s hometown. It would be great to see it restored and a Martin theme lobby. I have read that Martin’s daughter, Deana visits the town during the DM Festival so I would think she would look into this venture or get the community involved in looking at this theatre IF it still is standing which is a big question. A restored theatre could feature Martin films, etc.
The State Theatre is a very interesting architectural combination and should be seen to be appreciated. The theatre has its original organ though as yet to be restored. Thanks to Don Welch, head usher I was given a full tour from the projection room to the basement!
Lost Memory: Thanks for the photo site. I have been to this theatre and in June the Hollywood Happening with the HD crowd really fills up the town to support this theatre!
Chuck: Please email me a photo of the Wichita Theatre as the 7/31 post doesn’t work…thanks. I lived in WF when hubby was attending Midwestern University which is now Midwestern State.
Onas: I really don’t know about the Carolina being haunted, but it is need of a complete restoration and if you are in the Charlotte area and are interested in helping CTPS with their restoration efforts, please contact them!

splicer: Nice to read your description of this theatre in Alaska so I hope that it can be saved and not go the way of many others in the lower 48!
I would love to see photos of this Warner!

Another parking lot another bank! Oh my ‘good'ness, but it’s not for the good of Asheville!
Lost Memory: Can you help?
Lost Memory: Can you provide an old photo of this former theatre, present day Senior Citizen Center? It interests me because of the name…Shea’s.

Interesting to read about this theatre and the Highland Theatre, but more interesting to see 23 theatres listed in Akron over the years!

The Related Websites link shows a wonderful b/w photo of this theatre. I wonder if it still stands as the status says closed and not demolished?
