“That Darn Cat” opened at the Music Hall on December 2nd, 1965, as part of the Great Christmas Show. Admission prices cited in the lower right corner of the ad were for a stage and screen presentation that lasted over three hours.

An ad placed by the theatre gives an address of 407 Church Street, which contradicts the 411 Church Street reported in the press clipping.

Comfortably Cool commented about Center Theatre on Dec 6, 2015 at 12:33 pm

The Center’s final movie booking was Walt Disney’s “Pinocchio,” which opened in early February 1940 and closed on March 31st after a run of seven weeks and four days. The booking had been extended due to Easter Sunday falling on March 23rd that year. The Center drew substantial family attendance during the holiday period. Following “Pinocchio,” the Center became home in May-June to a season of Fortune Gallo’s San Carlo Opera Company, and then shuttered for conversion to ice-skating spectaculars, which started in October with “It Happens on Ice.”

“Pinocchio” had an invitational world premiere at the Center on the night of February 7th, 1940, and started regular continuous performances the next morning.

Due to a shared booking with the Publix Olympia of “Show Boat,” the Uptown lost out on an individual grand opening ad, but received special mention at bottom left.

The Parkway became part of the Loew’s circuit on October 4th, 1926, the same day as the downtown Century Theatre. I’ve posted a shared ad at the CT listing for Loew’s Century.

The marquee and some roof signage as Fan’s can be viewed at the center of this blurry enlargement of a thumbnail snapshot.
