The Paramus Drive-In closed in late-1987, but I cannot confirm the exact closing date because there were errors on showtime listings. General Cinema once operated the Paramus during the 1960s and 1970s.
This could be the very short lived Family Theatre, which operated from 1912 until 1914. It was originally opened around 1908 as the Lyric Theatre a few streets away, but was closed in 1911 when they relocated the theater to the north side of the square.
I don’t know yet. I’m looking at the archives of the Nevada Daily Mail and there’s not a lot of details about it rather than its management and schedules.
Also, during its days as the Nickel, there is another short-lived theater somewhere in Nevada called the Lyric Theatre. The Lyric operated as early as 1908 and closed in 1912 when it relocated to the north side of town and was renamed the Family Theatre. That theater closed in 1914.
Just to the northeast of the Panther is an incomplete set of larger traces, meaning that it originally planned to be built right at that spot. The Panther closed during the 1970s and was demolished right afterward.
I’m very sure that the Willis Theatre was the former Nickel Theatre which had been in operation since around 1909. The Nickel name appeared in 1912 but not in 1913, and the Willis name took over that year. There was evidence of a “Willis Wood Theatre” but I don’t think its related to the early motion picture house itself. The Willis was still open in 1915 but appears that it closed later on during World War I.
The actual opening date is June 7, 1935 with Bing Crosby in “Mississippi” along with an unnamed Popeye cartoon. The Theatre Anne in Maysville is one of a small amount of theaters in Missouri whose theater name starts with “Theatre”.
The Theatre Anne closed around Christmas 1958. And this was NEVER later known as the Acme Theatre. It has been known as the Theatre Anne throughout its entire life.
The actual opening date is August 26, 1966 with Henry Fonda in “A Big Hand For The Little Lady” and Paul Ford in “Never Too Late” along with multiple Bugs Bunny cartoons (listed as “Bugs Bunny Carnival”).
Opened with Jimmy Durante in “Student Tour” along with a vaudeville stage show before the movie and a dedicatory dance after the movie. The vaudeville performers were unidentified but they came all the way from Kansas City. Otherwise, its unknown if extras were added.
The Granada Theatre received major reconstruction in 1954. United California Theatres reopened the Granada on September 1, 1954, reopening with James Stewart in “Rear Window” and Walt Disney’s “Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom”.
Cineplex Odeon briefly operated the RKO Commack Twin during its final years of operation.
Closed by Cineplex Odeon on June 9, 1988 with “The Last Emperor” in Screen 1 and “White Mischief” in Screen 2.
Opened on June 25, 1969 with “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”.
Closed around May 16, 1984 with “The Bounty”.
The UA Commack Drive-In actually closed on September 7, 1986 with “Aliens” and “Big Trouble In Little China”.
The Harmony Drive-In is also one of the smallest drive-in theater ever in American history, housing 50 cars.
As of 1998, the capacity is 265 cars.
Does anyone know where the Harmony is? I tried finding it on various aerial views but came into several close calls.
The Paramus Drive-In closed in late-1987, but I cannot confirm the exact closing date because there were errors on showtime listings. General Cinema once operated the Paramus during the 1960s and 1970s.
Actual closing date is September 13, 1987 with “The Lost Boys” and “Little Shop Of Horrors”.
Closed on September 4, 1988 with “Midnight Run”.
This could be the very short lived Family Theatre, which operated from 1912 until 1914. It was originally opened around 1908 as the Lyric Theatre a few streets away, but was closed in 1911 when they relocated the theater to the north side of the square.
Anytime!
