Once operated by Mann Theatres before Dickinson took it over during its final year as a movie theater. It was closed as a movie theater on July 13, 1980 with “The Amityville Horror”.
Still visible in the 1974 aerial view, and into the early-1980s but I cannot tell its condition by that time. Traces remained intact into the mid-1980s despite being closed.
Operated as early as 1911, and closed around late-1928. It became a special events house afterward, which was still used as that during the early-1930s.
Opened with Madge Kennedy in “Strictly Confidential” along with an unnamed comedy, an unnamed Outing-Chester Traveltalk, and an unnamed short that reads “Cad Nat Picture” (which I don’t know where that came from).
It was closed on April 16, 1970 with “Topaz” and “Willie Boy Is Here”.
Opened by Cinemark on August 23, 1996 as “Movies 10”. Starplex Cinemas took over the theater on May 19, 2006, and AMC took the theater over on December 16, 2015.
Its most likely that both the older Republic Theatre and the 1939-built Republic Theatre are separate theaters. The newer Republic Theatre’s building began construction in mid-May 1939 and opened on July 6, 1939 with “Blondie Meets The Boss” (unknown if extras added), featuring RCA Photophone sound.
The Republic Theatre closed on June 24, 1956 with “The Kentuckian” and “Battle Stations” (unknown if extras added, but an unnamed serial was presented the previous evening).
This is first known as the Cozy Theatre which operated as early as May 1920, and was renamed the Strand Theatre on April 4, 1925. It did receive short closures and focused more on vaudeville and special events between 1932 and 1934, before Mrs. E. Nolan took over the theater in August 1934, and reopened it that same month as a full-time movie theater.
The Strand most likely closed on January 27, 1957 with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis in “Pardners” along with two unnamed cartoons.
Actual closing date is September 8, 1996.
