I’ve been here and it’s ok, it takes just as long to get in and out of here as it does to see the movie (I don’t like escalators). I miss Times Square when it was marquee after marquee and competitive competition and prices.
SO GLAD this gem was saved and still going strong. Went here every week when I was in college from 1995-1999. I remember they even showed old trailers for the upcoming films!
Thanks John! For several years I wanted to know more about this theater.I have several ads for the Hiway from the late thirties till 1970. Great photo. I have photos of the York Cinema but I see it hasn’t been added yet.
Such Great News!!!! When other cities are falling to one huge boring multiplex, Seattle seems to want to preserve their theatres. As an Actor, I want to see my name in lights on a marquee the it was meant to be!
Thanks Dennis. From the various ads I have from the 60’s,they had a very unusual booking system. They would go from a huge hit movie to a grade b to a more artsy picture to a porno and back again.
I love the original Cinerama Dome, but the Archlight is way over priced and nothing special. I’d much rather they renovated and re-opened the Pacific, Vogue and Ritz- and kept the Galaxy. At least it would have helped bring back the Boulevard.
Here is a photo. That is the address. Building still stands. Think it stopped showing movies in the mid-seventies. I believe every movie theatre in Sullivan County except the Calicoon is closed now.
Mike, I added a photo. I attempted to get a shot of the marquee out a car window but the trees got in the way unfortunately. This was around November of 1988.
Awesome news! This theatre must be a grand site all lit up at night! There is alot of filming being done in the area, it would be nice to see premires, screenings and celebrity appearances here- some charity going towards rebuilding efforts.

I added a photo and article from the York newspaper from October 11, 1969 with the razing of the Holiday Theater. Some other theater ads on bottom.

Does anyone have any information or photos for the Hi-Way Theatre that was on Carlisle St? Have several ads for it. Thanks!
The essential classic theatre…this place is priceless. Just Go!
Nothing looks like it’s changed here since the 70’s and I mean that as a compliment. Very Cool.
Nice! I want to go right now.
Nice Theatre. Glad to see it survived the multiplexes. My Mother grew up in Rome and talked about the Uptown and Stanley alot.
This is a great theatre. It was always packed when I attended back in the 90’s.

What a shame. One beautiful theatre. Its plain but I love the marquee. Is it still standing?
Cool theatre.
Added two photos I took in June 1991.
Very true. I was there last week. Awful sad.

Thank you for all the information muviebuf and Dennis. This was one of my favorite theatres!

What a shame! Do we really need another McDonalds? Yes, that caption is great!
Sad to hear they’re not showing movies here anymore. Visited this cinema in the nineties when it was an art house. Saw “Indochine”.
