Posted a 1944 nighttime picture of the Gopher with the Lyric, Pix and State up the street.

Just posted a 1944 nighttime picture showing the Lyric just up the street from the Gopher. The Pix and State appear further up the block.

There is a Theater Bartlesville at the adjacent address of 312 which has live performances. How much of the former movie theatre is incorporated into this space is unknown.

After the Skyline Theatre closed in September 2017, its projector was moved to 4 Mile and allowed them to open a third screen. Story here: https://www.canoncitydailyrecord.com/2017/09/19/skyline-theater-closes-its-doors/amp/

The marquee of this theatre showed up prominently in a crime documentary aired yesterday on the ID cable channel. Very brightly lit at night.

Trolleyguy commented about Center Cinema Twins on Sep 1, 2019 at 7:42 am

According to the website, it appears that the costs of digital conversion were too much for a small town operation to absorb. After closing on Sept 15, the closest movie house after the Center closes will be 26 miles away, and the closest multiplex a 47 mile drive. Given the severity of Wisconsin winters, a lot of streaming is going to be happening in the local homes.

Brutus the Bulldog is the mascot for Ferris State, hence the theatre name.

In addition to the regular population, Ferris State University has an enrollment of over 14,000 students plus faculty and staff. Certainly a good number to support 2 theatres in this city. Big Rapids is also a summer tourist destination which brings more folks into the area.

I added a color picture from the 1940s showing the marquee and a streetcar.

Trolleyguy commented about Paris Theater on Aug 23, 2019 at 7:02 am

There have been a number of articles in the New York press about this theatre closing sometime this summer. With nothing scheduled past August 29 that might be the case here.

Trolleyguy commented about Eastwood Cinema on Aug 20, 2019 at 8:11 am

From the recently posted photos, the theatre is certainly still in reasonable outside condition without any graffiti. It might not be for sale or lease because of a non-compete condition attached to it.

this theatre is getting deeper into the indie film market with the departure of Sundance from the scene. In-depth article here.

I just uploaded a recent picture of the marquee showing damage from being hit by trucks on the corners. The City of Chicago has inspected it and found that it was not a hazard to pedestrians or traffic at this time.

Trolleyguy commented about Fox Theatre on Aug 9, 2019 at 6:43 am

The City f Stevens Point has issued a raze order for the theatre. The latest plan of the Group Create is to “save” the theatre by doing a facadectomy. They propose tearing down everything behind the front and attaching a new building to the backside.https://www.wsaw.com/content/news/Historic-Commission-asks-raze-order-rescinded-for-Fox-Theater-526393821.html

Trolleyguy commented about Royal Theatre on Aug 5, 2019 at 8:30 am

I see from the posted photos that sometime after 2012, vertical posts were added to the front of the marquee. Perhaps additional support ordered by the city for safety reasons.
