Right when it twinned in 1979, it was the second theater in Kingston to have more than one screen, with the first being the Kingston Triplex Cinema (first known as the ATMC Cinema, which will have its own Cinema Treasures page soon) which operated from June 1978 until the second quarter of the 1990s.
The Mayfair Twin was last operated by Cinema Centers and was closed for the final time in the middle of January 1987. The closure of the Mayfair left the Hoyts operated Kingston Triplex and the Hoyts operated Hudson Mall 6 in competition.
Sad to say is that the Mayfair Theater was demolished in 1994, and as of now a Volkswagen dealership (Romeo Volkswagen of Kingston) now sits in the site.
This page needs to get updated immediately. It did close for purposes for a short period of time in 2010 but it reopened later on as the “Picture Show At Frontier Village”, and is still opened today, running first-runs.
A correction on the address is that this is located on 1771 Arizona 69, not 1771 East Highway 69.
It was unclear why the 1973-built General Cinema Hanover Mall Cinema closed in September 1998 though. However, by newspapers from the Boston Globe, says that there was a massive error for more than a year saying that the theater was still operating under the GCC banner but there were no advertisements being displayed due to the theater’s closure.
This theater started life as the GCC Hanover Mall Cinema Centre in September 1973 with four screens and was first operated by General Cinema. It was later renamed the GCC Hanover Mall Cinemas. For the first 25 years of operation, it was a four-screen General Cinema until ultimately closing its doors in September 1998.
Sitting abandoned for three years in total, Patriot Cinemas decided to reopen the theater (expecting in August but it was pushed forward few months ahead), added two more screens, and reopened the Hanover Mall theater as the Patriot Cinemas 1-6 on December 28, 2001. Around a couple of years later, it became the Patriot Cinemas 1-10 after four more screens were added.
It closed on March 6, 2020 due to the pandemic, and its closure was announced permanent later that September. And lastly in mid-2021, the Patriot Cinemas itself was demolished.
Both the Dixie and the Logan theaters are separated theaters. This first opened as the Logan Theatre on June 23, 1949 with Robert Young in “Adventures In Baltimore” with no extra short subjects. The Dixie Theatre nearby continued to operate until 1954 after a bit more than 40 years of operation.
UPDATE: According To The Tampa Tribute, I just recently found that the Star-Lite closed in 1992 according to a March 30, 1999 evidence on the Star-Lite being auctioned off. Unfortunately, the theater did close on September 3, 1985 with those two films because it failed to draw an amount of people since 1981. I guess it did reopen either a couple or few years later. Not sure what happened afterward.
The Laura Theatre opened on April 18, 1947 with Robert Mitchum in “Pursued” along with an unnamed cartoon, sports reel, and a newsreel, with a capacity of 650.
Before ending its regular theater run, ABC Theaters of Pennsylvania operated the theater until the mid-1970s. That ultimately changed when the Laura Theater flipped to an XXX theater for no longer than three years. The Laura Theatre closed in 1979 and it reopened in 1980 as a live performance house ending in 1984.
Yeah you might be right Michael. The screen was gone after the early 1980s arrived.
Opened in the mid-1960s and closed in the mid-1980s. The theater’s entrance was located on 7380 Korean War Veterans Memorial Highway in Minocqua.
The Dundale Opened In 1961. Construction Probably Began Earlier That Year.
It was demolished later on during the decade, possibly during WWII.
You’re welcome!
