Updated additional history and crisper version of the 1909 image added credit Lehigh Valley History.

“The Majestic Theatre at 533 Front St; SE Corner of Front and Pine, Catasauqua, PA. William H. Wentz built the theatre in 1909. When Wentz sold the theater in 1933 to William G. Humphries, its name was changed to the Savoy. The theater closed in 1962 and was demolished.” (Catty Mart gas station now stands on that corner)
