theatrefan - More correctly, the parcel of land on which the theatre occupies a portion was purchased for 40 million, not just the theatre for 40 million.
During the reno the “Two Chicks” uncovered the name “Lincoln” over the front entrance and on the lintels above the former movie poster sites. These were retained, as well as the marble identification at the entrance. However the entrance was repositioned to the site of the lintel closest to Lincoln Street.
Operated by the Palmer Family and open 364 days a year (not Christmas). The Palmers added the indoor cinema in 1972. Its concession stand also services the Drive-In.
Don’t forget the Gallo Opera House became Studio 54. The place to be.
They also did a renos of the Crescent, Carlton, Floral, Williston and Suffolk Theatres to be catering halls.
Another major reno not mentioned in the overview was the one for the stage production of Candide. All the seats were removed. The audience sat in a balcony that ran around the entire theatre. The show was performed below in the entire space.
The Centre was located in the Los Alamos Community Center flanked by a soda shop and a bowling alley on either side. After it became the High Society it was converted into a triplex designed by Los Alamos architect Conrad Skinner. It closed in 2001.
I’ve uploaded a photo of the marquee and entrance from 1950.
Gerald, checked out all the theatres in the ad to see if on CT. Couldn’t find the Campus in Wakefield, presumably MA rather than NH. There are two theatres in Wakefield, the Wakefield and the Princess but neither indicates that they were ever call Campus.
The silent film theatre mentioned above was probably the Postville, the ad for which appears in this photo section featuring a 1929, pre-code silent film, The Voice of the City.
A news bite announcing a forthcoming special program at the Plaza appeared in the September 22, 1915 The Manchester Democrat.
Uploaded a photo of construction at the Grand. Presumably around 1922.
A 200 seat Dreamland Theatre is reported in Waverly in the 1912 Iowa State Gazetteer and Business Directory.
Originally owned and operated by Richard Sterling, a cotton buyer for Erwin Mills.
Uploaded photos of a roll of tickets from the theatre and an ad which appeared in the January 12, 1953 The Daily Record from Dunn, NC>
Uploaded a photo of the Studio which was posted on Facebook by Christopher Robert. He indicated the theatre operated from 1971-1989.
The theatre had velvet covered Loveseats (two persons) at the rear. When the Studio closed they were reported to have been transferred to the Strand.
The Studio was demolished an a church built on the site.

Comfortably Cool- Well said not even considering the cash outlay for same.

Interesting that AMC would permit something to identify a theatre by name rather than just have the generic AMC. I wonder why.

Desguin also operated the New Theatre in Punta Gorda and an African-American Theatre in East Punta Gorda.

First new theater in Flushing in 35 years.
Surprisingly with all the discussion of photos there is none in the photo section.
Theatre just celebrated 100 years on May 23rd. The Long Island Advance published a side by side picture of then and now which I’ve uploaded.
My point is that it is not on CT.

The “A” was probably for Aubrey. And the Webb theatre was probably owned and operated by him.
