Current Google street view is August 2018. The sidewalk and street surrounding the theater are both blocked off, presumably for safety of the marquee falling.

DavidZornig commented about Table Rock Theatre on Jan 24, 2019 at 2:59 pm

Just noticed the current exterior lamp fixtures are the same ones that were inside the alcove, above the doors in Photo 78 in the Table Rock Historical Society link. One of the globes is broken in the street view which is from 2013. There is also a vintage gas station on the corner that now looks like a repair garage, with the pumps removed.

From the current street view the address is 402-404 Luzerne Street. JK Remodeling located in the same building is 406 Luzerne. Hard to believe with all the history compiled in the above website, that not one of the print ads have an address listed.

Just added another 8/16/38 photo front & back, which states that the Sunrise was “New York State’s first open air drive-in theater”. Something that should likely be added to the Overview.

This confirms that the concert events were reserved seating.

DavidZornig commented about Uptown Theatre on Jan 20, 2019 at 5:04 pm

I’m sure it was reserved seating, as I just posted a 1981 Zappa ticket and the source confirmed in his story that he was in the 1st row seat that the ticket shows.

Photo and description added courtesy Captain Bijou Facebook page. Movie patrons who went to the Metropolitan Theatre in Houston, Texas in 1936 to see the H.G. Wells' science-fiction epic, THINGS TO COME, were greeted by staff in futuristic garb similar to costumes seen in the film.

Just found out that Clubland was a concept in Detroit as well. It was “Clubland at the State Theatre”, 2115 Woodward Avenue. The image used the exact same candy cane font as Clubland at the Vic
