It appears that the Viv Theatre actually opened on or around November 8, 1939. Unlike most movie houses, the Viv didn’t open with a movie.

50sSNIPES commented about Shannon Theatre on Jan 11, 2025 at 3:01 pm

This started life as the Carma Theatre, and was located at the former site of an A&P store. The theater opened its doors on October 18, 1946 with June Haver in “Three Little Girls In Blue” (unknown if extras added). It originally housed 492 seats and was first operated by the husband-and-wife team of Mr. and Mrs. George Carmack.

The theater was rebuilt in the 1970s by another husband-and-wife team of Doc and Lois Rodabaugh, and was renamed the Shannon Theatre.

Sounds like a great idea. I have to do the same thing to what happened in Maui and in Mayfield, Kentucky, previously.

Sorry to break the fourth wall, but did the Bay Theatre survived the wildfires at all?

50sSNIPES commented about Crest Theater on Jan 8, 2025 at 7:39 pm

Once operated by Associated Theatres, and later by Cinemette Corporation of America.

On March 4, 1968, the Crest Theater suffered minor damage from a second floor fire and not the main theater itself. Unfortunately, the fire happened during double children’s matinees “Treasure Island” and “Snow White” (NOT the Disney movies with the same names). The theater reopened a couple days later.
