I don’t know why anyone would care about digital projection. I don’t think there are more than a handful of movies that come out digitally anyway. The projection when I saw No Country For Old Men here was clear and in focus with no dust or scratches on the print. I’m glad they do not have stadium seating – whoever invented that should be shot. I found the seats very comfortable even though they did not rock. I cannot stand seats with high backs, and these were the perfect size. I also parked for free nearly right across the street. My two complaints about the cinema were all the burned out bulbs in the marquee – that really irks me for some reason – and the horrible sound bleed-through from one auditorium to the next.
Gerry, I sent an email to the address I had for you, which might be old. You’ve got great photos of all these old theatres. Can I grab them from your Photobucket site and add them to the CinemaTour site with proper credit, of course, to you?
This appears to be the same as the Gardner Cinemas 1 & 2 (#12672).
I believe this theatre is now closed as their phone number no longer works and I cannot find listings for them.
As I wrote above, it closed in September 2002. I was there the final weekend.
Just to throw in another factor – its is “Cummings” in the Film Daily Yearbook in both 1947 and 1955 (the two editions I own).
The Elizabeth Theatre closed in 1983. There’s a good photo of it at http://www.capecodtoday.com/images/eliz350_350.jpg
The Falmouth Theatre was on Main St. It closed in 1978 and is now Carpet Barn.
Anyone know what happened to the plans to renovate this? I can’t find anything on it since February of 2005.
This theatre closed down in October 2007.
The Adams opened on January 14, 1938. Closed 1967.
First run single screen? Wow. In Connecticut that would be ZERO.
On the CinemaTour page I see Little Theatre, 506 Dekalb St. in Camden, SC. – looks like that is the one.

Maybe not in California, I guess, but it is pretty much everywhere else.
The Pike wasn’t way down there. It was like a block from the Hartford DI. I think there’s a supermarket there now.
This theatre has reopened.

The correct address is 259 Main St., website http://www.leavittheatre.com/
What company will it be run by?
I just noticed yesterday that it was no longer on the BCG website. I guess they must have sold it, but to whom I know not.
I haven’t heard any rumors about ti reopening. They want WAY too much money in rent.
Address is 148 Main St.
Pete – which building is it?
Over a year later…still closed.
See my photos of this building at http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/15609.html
