Of course Chuck,sorry for the typo,too bad he did not live to see this one or many other of his theatres open.As a child he was known as “Max” Loew as I am sure you know.His brother Henry was the manager of the Loews National until his death at the age of 66.
Another old Loews to add to my list.
Nice 1958 photo of the Loews Alpine posted by Warren.
Too bad there are not more photos.
Times have sure changed in the last 50 years, I remember the Loews and Paramount in Nashville having “Colored Balconys” back in the day.
Any word on this theatre lately?
Now thats what I call a drive-in theatre.
Thanks for the new photos retroguy.
Very ironic,socal09.Very nice marquee in the 2010 photo.

Great postcards Don.
This theatre was going to be built as the Hippodrome,when it was still being built Marque Loew bought and finished it,Renaming it the Loews Akron.
Sad photos of the demolition,Marion.
Thanks Al great vintage photo.
Interesting that vertical in the photo posted by ken mc on May 15,2006 reads Loews and United Artists.
Thanks Gordon and Phillip.
Thanks for the excellent introduction and photos Phillip.
What a history of this theatre.
I understand that Chuck,but there is no mention of movies being played there in the intro or comments,maybe you would know?
A second thought,did this theatre ever show movies?Function just lists live performances in the header.
Great signbords in the 1954 photo.
Great theatre name.Great photos as always Don.
Great photos of a great theatre.
Interesting looking Cinema.
What a great Marquee in the 1945 photo,the new photos are good too.
Thanks for the modern photo Don.
