I’ve never heard of any Mohawk Theatre in Greenfield. There was a Mohawk in North Adams.

That photo is of the Regent Theatre at 109 East Water Street in Elmira. It was not called “Photo Plays”. That sign tells you what goes on in the building. See http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/25104.html for a different view.

Yes it says its “moving”, but in reality its going to take up 5 of the 17 screens at the Bow Tie complex across town. How long do you think it will be until those screens get converted back to mainstream fare?

I can’t find anything about this theatre being renovated like it says up top. Anyone know anything?

Name has been changed to Ford Drive-In it seems, dropping the Wyoming part now that those screens are gone. Website URL is now http://www.forddrivein.com/

Looking at Bing Maps for 1831 Atlantic this appears to be gone. Only some newer buildings and vacant lots are on that block.

Roger Katz commented about Beach Theatre on May 2, 2010 at 6:56 am

Looking a the bird’s eye view from Bing that’s definitely a theatre building there. The status of this one should be changed to “Closed.”

They are all now converted to other purposes. See my photos of some of them at http://www.cinematour.com/theatres/us/CT/6.html .

I think this theatre is the same as the auditorium.

Roger Katz commented about Theatre By The Sea on Apr 7, 2010 at 6:47 am

I’d thought this was never a movie theatre. However at http://www.theatrebythesea.com/History.aspx it states: “By 1941, with the war raging and gas rationing in place, the theatre went dark for a few years, but then sporadically played as a movie house.”

Was this also known as the Bijou for a while?

Lost: read that sign closer. It says “Balcony Hair Design Studio.”

Roger Katz commented about What city needs a cinema? on Mar 21, 2010 at 11:46 am

Just about any city in Connecticut could use a cinema drafthouse. The only towns in CT with cinemas with dining are Canaan and Winsted which are both in the rural northwest corner. New Britain is probably the largest city in Connecticut with no movie theatre of its own.

Opened December 12, 1898 as the Athenaeum. Closed and demolished in 1954.

I believe this was originally the Trent Theatre and opened December 9, 1937.
