Don: Nice photos of the new marquee so just perhaps Mr.Dobbs, hometown boy took a second look at his hometown cinema and decided to help. He may have even read our emails and CT posts! If so, hope he mentions it on his daily radio show. Someone from CT should call in!
Yes, very colorful and full of acrobatic talent. BTW, the Warner has never closed in its long history in Erie PA on State Street just blocks from the shores of Lake Erie.
Local Jamestown radio personality, Jim Roselle will be interviewing 2 men who worked at the Winter Garden on Saturday, April 24 10:00 a.m. The one hour show can be heard online @ www.wjtn.com
As of this past week, demolition has sadly begun on the Winter Garden. Go to the link below to see many interior photos and a few exterior demo photos.
Below is a letter that I received from the owner of the Rogers Theater, Gary Kulas. He has asked me to spread the word so please help him restore the art deco cinema in Shelby NC by voting in the month of April. I plan to vote and I hope everyone on CT votes to save another historical theatre! On the link there is a brief narrated video that will show the work being done, to date.
Hello,
My name is Gary Kulas and I am the new owner and developer of The Rogers Theater in Shelby, NC. If you are not familiar with The Rogers Theater, it was built in 1936 as an Art Deco Design, 650 seat movie house. It has set empty for 25 years and is now trying to gather funds for restoration.
The reason I’m emailing you is to please ask for your help. It won’t cost you a cent and will only take a couple minutes of your time. The Rogers Theater is in a voting contest for a $250k grant from the Pepsi Co. This money is crucial to the success of the theater. If you would click on Pepsi’s website www.refresheverything.com/rogerstheater to vote for our success it would mean so much to us. Once you click on the “vote for this idea” button, you’ll be transferred to a sign in page. The first time you sign in takes a couple minutes. When you come back to vote the next day, it’ll be much quicker. The site will send you back to The Rogers Theater page to vote after you’ve signed in and you’ll need to click “vote” again. You can vote once a day, everyday for up to 10 causes, but please only vote for us in the $250k category. Please remember that you must vote after you’ve signed in. Thank you so much for your help, it is greatly needed.
After signing the petition I rec’d a letter from the Baltimore Development Corporation, President M.J. Brodie. If other CT members signed the petition, they will probably receive this letter, too.
I have posted the MLive article on the Capitol link and hope to contact Charles Ahronheim. Many of the theatres listed in the MLive article aren’t included on CT such as the Rex.
It would be interesting to chat with the Chuck Ahronheim who is mentioned in the MLive article. Even though Chuck and a brother failed in their attempt to save the Capitol their efforts are to be applauded!
tisloews: You are welcome. I pride myself on the theatre related stories that I find through different sources and being able to share them with fellow cinema treasures members.
Has any attempts at restoration been started, of late? I plan to visit Mount Morris NY this spring after going to see another DeAngelis designed theatre, the Strand/Brockport NY.
Warner Lady: Great article! Congratulations!
creed: Thanks for the Dobb update…you’d think he would want to contribute to this hometown theatre cause!

Is this theater still standing and waiting to be restored?
Yes, very colorful and full of acrobatic talent. BTW, the Warner has never closed in its long history in Erie PA on State Street just blocks from the shores of Lake Erie.
This theatre is a wonderful small theatre with a dedicated group of theater folks. A must-see with an amazing renovation story!
Yes, another sad story!
tisloews: Yes, sadly another has been lost though its never easy to see them go for whatever reason or reasons!

Tom: Thanks for the additional information.
Stosh: Thanks for the hopeful post!
Another old atmospheric LOEWS still going!

An organ is….good news!
