DavidZornig commented about Rex Theatre on May 3, 2025 at 7:00 am

This was apparently the 5th location of the Rex Theatre, with the prior one to this located at 215 E. Main Street that closed in 1929 per the Cinematour website. It would have been next door to the State Theatre which was at 217 E. Main Street. The other previous Rex Theatre addresses are unknown.

Three 1948 images added credit Scarborough, Looking Back.. via Facebook. It appears to be a completely different building with a hanger style roof, versus the photo above the Overview which I believe to be wrong.

Having just read that the large “Key West Strand” marquee that was built for the film “Matinee” in 1993 and later removed, I figured the best way to search for it was the Internet Movie Car Database since it was a period piece. Here are four screen grabs from the film with the marquee.
