Charles: Great photo of the Alamo. I’ve been looking at the LA and MS CT theatres and wonder which ones, if any, survived? I don’t know the name of the theatre pictured on AOL news that ‘was’ in Bay St. Louis MS, but sadly the brick structure was leveled.
Charles: I couldn’t bring up the above site. Also I noticed on an AOL window a photo of an old theatre that was demolished during Hurricane Katrina. It is in Bay St. Louis MS, but that theatre is not listed on CT.
Patrick: Thank you very much for posting this N.O. theatre information and may we all find it in our hearts to donate whatever we can to help our fellow Americans along the Gulf Coast.
Brian: He has now become a personal hero of mine after only 15 minutes of searching through sites about him! I found a link that took me to Amazon and there I viewed “They All Fall Down” which should be required reading for any CT member! Another good book by the granddaughter of Harry M. Turner, Cass Warner is Hollywood Be Thy Name if anyone is interested in reading about the famous Warner Brothers of theatre and movie fame!
I just brought up the b/w photo and think I found Mr. Nickel’s face. Is he wearing a hat? Where on the internet might I find his Louis Sullivan documentation?
It is a true crime that Chicago lost this Adler and Sullivan theatre in the turbulent 60’s! The above site with demolition photos is very disturbing to look at, but interesting to see.
NittyRanks: It’s nice to read…“I was eager to get to this site to see if it was posted on here!”…I, too, often react in that same exact way! Once you get the ‘theatre’ bug, you have it for life, I think!
I can’t believe that a community like Santa Barbara with many culturally minded folks would allow this theatre dating back to 1904 to be demolished to make room for a “series of restaurants”. Would love to see a photo(s)!
Cute little single screen art deco theatre that is open as it was saved from that wrecking ball in 1998. Congratulations to the folks of Englewood Colorado! Thanks for the great photos!
“The owners of Radio City thought it was a good idea to get rid of its competition.” This quote from a “brucec” post is disturbing to read and also this from “brucec”…….“I remember in the 1970’s when the Rockefeller’s wanted to tear down Radio City they pointed to the destuction of the Roxy,Capitol and Paramount saying that they had outlived the stage and screen policy and was a White Elephant and should die a natural death as the other stage and screen movie palaces had.”
TC: I just recently traveled through Springville and photographed the Joylan. I was able to see its art moderne interior and the description by Richard Grows is ‘right on’! But I can’t seem to bring up the above website to view the interior photo.
I think one must register on the Cinema Tour forum site to view the message in regards to ghosts and theatres. I do hope this clears up the matter for all of us thanks to a fellow CT member.
Chuck: I figured it probably had been closed for some time yet it was sad to see it gone. It would be nice to see it included on CT though.
Would love to see an interior photo of this art deco cinema in MS.

Can anyone provide a photo(s) of the Capitol?
“Great architecture has only two natural enemies: water and stupid men.” A Richard Nickel quote that is, sadly, still true in 2005!

Brian: Thanks for this sad follow-up information.
Bart: If you go to the Columbia Theatre/Brookville PA link, you’ll read what I have posted about a recent visit to the hometown cinema.
Christian: Thank you so much for your post in regards to this New Orleans cinema masterpiece.

TC: Excellent idea as I would love to see a picture(s) of the restored auditorium on the web page, too! And where exactly is East Greenville PA?

I wonder how this theatre has held up in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina!

Usually the answer is money and politics! None the less, it is a crime that the Roxy isn’t with us in 2005!
I have contacted the Peter Fetterman gallery to inquire about the above Joylan interior photo address.

Why was this fabulous 6,000 seat NYC theatre with such rich and wonderful history allowed to be demolished?
