Interesting to see that a May Theatre is listed in Mayville WS as there was a May Theatre in Mayville NY, too though at this writing the one in NY is not listed on CT.
There are many comments on the Watsontown Cinema Treasures link about the closing of this theatre in a time when many other theatres in many other communities are moving forward with renovations, etc. I sincerely hope that someone steps up and purchases this theatre as it truly is a cinema gem for the community of Watsontown PA.
Also read that there are only about 300 single screen theatres left in the country. I would like to think there are more than 300 left as so many are listed on CT as either open or closed and not demolished.
What a charming little theatre! Is it about to close? Sure hope not though a down economy and the “outside of town” multiplexes do not help matters! Such a shame as the multiplexes have NO CHARM!
I sure would have enjoyed opening night at the Eberson Carpenter. I know some folks who were in nearby Williamsburg that weekend, but I wasn’t able to tell them about the opening and they might have enjoyed it during their visit to that area.
Since this theater is listed as a playhouse I wonder if films are shown on its stage? And thanks to George Stinson for saving this theatre from that wrecking ball.
This theatre seen in the 1984 photo was once a cute theatre with ticket kios, vertical marquee and what appears to be a vitrolite exterior. What’s the latest on this one?
I was in Bradford today and visited the Bradford Theatre formerly known as the Dipson Bradford. The style is art deco style during my visit I saw actor, Denzel Washington who is in the area filming a movie!

This theatre with the 4 screens was quite unusual. Loved the night photo with the lighted glass and stars above in a Texas sky.

Ok and thanks for the correction as so many PA towns end in “ville”, but not this one!
Where is Watsonville located in the State of PA as I might be able to see this theatre if it is within a comfortable driving distance?

I would love to see some interior photos of this theatre…been in contact with a Georgetown resident who may be of help to me.
Do hope to still see photos.

What is the restoration status of this Lexington cinema treasure that has or had a Wurlitzer organ?
After comparing photos I guess the Vitrolite looking facade was removed to the present day look.
I went on Lou’s website and have sent him an email so will keep CT posted.
If someone wants to give me Lou’s email address, I’ll gladly write the letter!
Where on Clematis at 413 was the Palace location? And what is there now?
A fine restoration job was done on the marquee, but to remove the ticket kios was a major blunder,imo.
Now see the restored marquee, but no restored ticket kios thanks to Lost Memory’s posted photo of December 28, 2007.
On the Don Lewis post of 4/8/09 Seth Gaines mentions beneath a photo that the marquee has been restored, but the ticket kios was destroyed!?!

And I just realized this theatre was a John Eberson! Is it considered an atmospheric?
I just sent the Paramount Theatre an email in regards to returning the vertical marquee to its exterior facade.
