This photo from 1931, courtesy of Warren, is from the Daily News archive. It was taken during the trial of the 1nfamous Harry Power, when the trial was moved from the Courthouse in Clarksburg to the theater due to the immense crowds wanting to attend the proceedings.
Note the name is “Moore” on the vertical, not “Moore’s”.

I am the one that posted the comment, not Warren, and the format was mine. I have no problem with the way Lost Memory has been posting and greatly enjoy and appreciate his efforts to share information with all of us. Let us all move forward and keep posting what pieces of information we find of interest on the subject of theater history. Thanks.

jflundy commented about Cinart Theatre on Jun 22, 2009 at 1:58 pm

Here is a link to the Forgotten Street Scenes website. It is the Court Street page. Some current or former theater are shown.

About three quarters of the way down the page , a building is shown, obviously a theater at one time. It is located near Baltic on Court Street. The web master asks help in identifying this old theater’s name.
View link

The link comes from Warren G. Harris. He believes that this building may once have been the Cinart.
