Great pix! The Stadium was my favorite childhood movie theater, and it plays a huge role in a fictional trilogy of books I wrote about my childhood growing up in that neighborhood in the late 50s. I spent the most time there, as they had the best Cinemascope screen and stereo sound – I saw everything there – 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Carousel, The King and I, The Searchers, Village of the Damned, The Time Machine, The Last Voyage, Daddy Long Legs, The Naked Edge (one of the last films to play there), North By Northwest and on and on and on. A fabulous theater. When it was turned into a synagogue I was so upset that I stopped going to Temple and have not been inside a Temple since. Funny, huh?

The former Stadium Theater underwent major exterior renovations in 2004, and is once again a handsome building.
This theatre has been a synagogue for over 30 years.
