Adding the word ‘The’ to a theatre name would make searching Cinema Treasures ne'er impossible. eg. ‘The’ Capitol', ‘The’ Rialto, ‘The’ State etc. To keep things consistent on the site, the word ‘The’ will not be used. The correct name is given on our link to The Clairidge website. Ken Roe, Theatre Editor.
Mikeoaklandpark; The former orchestra level is still original and uses the original proscenium. The front section of the balcony is divided into 3 small screens and the rear section of the balcony mezzanine is a single screen.
In November 2000 I organised a visit to New York City for the UK based Cinema Theatre Association, assisted by Brooklyn based Cezar Del Valle. The Grand Prospect Hall was one of 14 theatres on the 5-days itinerary and we were warmly greeted by Michale Halkias who had arranged a buffet lunch for the group of 56 CTA members. He will be sadly missed and would be appalled to see what has happened to his beautiful building.
The Empire Theatre, Main Street, Pascoag was listed in the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory. It was the only movie theatre listed in that town.
In the 1926 edition of Film Daily Yearbook the 400-seat Star Theatre was the only theatre listed for Pascoag.
Joe, a conundrum here, as the Lake Theatre page on Cinema Treasures gives an address of 49493 US-93(2nd Avenue). The old building at that address is not large enough to have been a theatre.
Just a note too, that there was also a 541-seat Park Theater operating in Polson, listed in FDY’s 1950 to 1955.
BillJunior: The Majestic Theatre, Springfield, IL does come up on a search of theatres with the Majestic name. Currently page 13 of ‘All Theatres’ when you type Majestic in the search box, this page for the Roxy Theatre comes up. I will contact the technical site manager regarding the insecure log-in. Thanks for telling us you enjoy the site. Ken Roe, Volunteer Theatre Editor.
bob550: Thank you for sharing your sad news regarding Dennis J. Mahaney. His contributions to Cinema Treasures will remain as a testament to his passion for cinema buildings. Ken Roe, Volunteer Theatre Editor
Ron, Many Thanks for relating the sad news of Hank’s passing. He was a good friend to both the THS & CTA participating by attending THS Conclaves and CTA Visits and was a member of the Cinema Theatre Association for 20 years.
Going back in time the Broadhurst Theatre did present occasional musicals from 1918. In more recent times: 1965 “Half a Sixpence”, 1972 “Grease”, “Godspell” and in 1973 Bob Fosse’s “Dancin'”.
The 1938 Main Street Theatre now has its own page on Cinema Treasures.
A new page has been created.

Joe, Many Thanks. Working on your speculations, I have tidied up the Polson pages.

Yes Ed, That’s how the photo rotations work on the site.
‘int’ could have probably been the part of ‘Rocky Point’.
The Hackney Empire Theatre was used for the London Hippodrome sequences in the film “Judy”.

Not sure if Mr. Menagh went through with his plans. The Parrot Theatre never made it into any editions of Film Daily Yearbook.
