The closing of the State Theatre in Sandusky Ohio is a shame especially when that community has the amusement park, Cedar Point that could certainly offer their support, imo.
Chuck: Would love to see your photobucket photo of the Stanley which has such a beautiful exterior facade! Can’t wait to see the lobby and THAT “Titanic” staircase!
I’m not sure where Gloversville is located in the State of NY, but since this location was the start for the famous Schine Brothers it is now on my must-see theatre list!
I believe the Schine Brothers were originally from Gloversville NY. Interesting to read that this former theatre was originally an opera house. Many small towns had opera houses and so many of them are gone today.

The Regent and the Capitol were also in Dunkirk, NY.
Is the Franklin Cinema listed on CT? Thanks for this Franklin information as the town sounds like a must-see when in the Nashville area. In fact, I think my girlfriend’s daughter goes to church in Franklin TN.
My interest was prompted with the demolition in 1992 of my hometown theatre, the Grand in Westfield NY which is listed on CT, btw. I acquired the theatre ‘bug’ soon after finding CT and becoming a member! And I don’t think there is a cure for it! The only downside is reading about so many theatres that have been demolished in the name of urban renewal!
M Horner: I’m in western NYS at the moment, but will be in NC for 3 months after the holidays so have a variety of theatre choices along with some traveling to see and tour theatres of interest outside those area such as Eberson/atmospheric…visited the Palace in Canton Ohio and received a wonderful ‘atmospheric’ tour thanks to Rob Sees. Are you familiar with a publication called Marquee through THSA (Theatre Historical Society of America)?
M Horner: Thanks for your Nashville philosophy. I may be in “one of the richest cities in this country” this winter" and just wondered if I should be directed to anything special other than Opryland, etc. though I’m not a fan of country music and it’s all about country music in that city!
M Horner: Thanks for the present Nashville theatre scene update. Is there at least one movie palace still standing and in some sort of restoration phase? I think I know the answer to this question and recall someone saying….“If you don’t want to know the answer…don’t ask the question!”
I watch the Rose Parade every year, but this January 1, 2006 I will view the City of Pasadena in a much different light, unfortunately!
“Although the panel voted to approve Buchanan’s plan 5-3 an appeal can still be filed.” FIGHT ON!

Can anyone provide a link showing the famous staircase?

Ron Salters: DITTO!!
ERD: Interesting Schine information. Thanks!
Debbie Marr’s watercolor is beautiful!

M Horner: Yes, you are correct so thanks Mr. Memory!
On Cinema Tour there is a Franklin Theatre in Grand Rapids, MI. Anyone have information about this one?
Lost Memory: Couldn’t bring up your photo site posted 11/2/05.
M Horner: Thanks for the great Knickerbocker Theatre memorabilia website!

Warren: Thanks for this information as I was aware of this being the case. I plan to join THSA in the near future and receive Marquee issues.
This theatre being a church now would certainly give one a different perspective and certainly a different theatre experience.
Marquee is available through becoming a member of THSA. The website is http://www2.hawaii.edu/~angell/thsa/welcome2.html

Yes, an ‘update’ on the Tennessee would be great as I hope to visit that theatre in Knoxville this winter enroute to Nashville to see friends.
