Lost Memory: This theatre has similar round circles as found in other DeAngelis designed theatres. On Feb. 25, 2008 you posted photos of the Warsaw Cinema designed by DeAngelis, but they can not be viewed and I’d love to see the art deco similiarities to my hometown theatre built by DeAngelis.
If it was a club at one time, the slanted floor was probably leveled. Hope someone posts on the current status of this art deco theatre that was and should still be in Hornell. Was or is there a theatre in nearby Arkport NY?
OK…will do! And speaking of photos when will the add a photo feature be reinstalled on CT? I and a former manager would like to see a photo added of our hometown theatre, the Grand/Westfield NY.
And since a movie was in progress I wasn’t able to see the auditorium design with the house lights up, but will this summer when I head to the Hamburg Fair entitled “Love a Fair” this year.
LOL! No! We were with friends and they were kind enough to drive by and let me go inside to say hello to the kids behind the counter and tell them they are lucky to have this theatre in their hometown. Not sure if they appreciated what I was telling them, but maybe they will….someday!
I wonder if this theatre is still showing monthly Hitchcock classics? I’ve been told ordering classic movies in today’s world can be expensive due to shipping costs. I tried the theatre phone number (716-649-2295), but wasn’t able to leave a message though did hear what is being featured for the coming week!
Lost: Thanks for the 3 photos from American Classic Images, but I wonder if this theatre had a set of original doors before the modern ones were installed. My guess is…yes. I hope to contact the current new owner, Jay Ruof.
Don’t believe the Grand was demolished in 1994, but rather in the Spring of 1992. But one thing for sure is that it was “sadly demolished”. Still hoping to hear from David Stear who originally added this theatre to Cinema Treasures.
Lost: Ironic that you added this theatre and it turns out to be a Michael DeAngelis designed theatre! Great minds think alike!

I see that architect, Michael DeAngelis designed this theatre along with my hometown theatre, the Grand/Westfield NY.
Any photos…interior and exterior? I know folks formerly from Akron and I’ve been to the town though it was prior to getting the theatre “bug”.
Is this theatre closed or demolished? I hope not the latter?
BillKays: Please email me @ since your email is not available on your CT profile page. Thanks.

ken mc: Interesting ad, but so was the article nearby entitled Pastor Is Under Observation After Appearing In Nude!
Lost: My thought, as well.
And sure would love to see some interior photos then and now!
I hope the City of Binghamton has started to restore this unique theatre!
Those are interesting photos with a share marquee…never seen that before though it may exist elsewhere.
I simply vote for the name Angola Theatre!
OK…will do! And speaking of photos when will the add a photo feature be reinstalled on CT? I and a former manager would like to see a photo added of our hometown theatre, the Grand/Westfield NY.

Below is an article entitled Theater is a Palace for New Owner.

I’ve been to this theatre, but only in the lobby…will check it out this summer!
Joe: Quite the interior photo! Thanks. BTW……in a book entitled Lucy A to Z by Michael Karol there is mention of this theatre on page 114.
“This is the Hollywood Boulevard theater in which Desi Arnaz and his band played for Bob Hope’s radio show in 1947.”
Plus I recently read this theatre originally had 850 seats!
And perhaps it should just read “demolished” rather than “closed/demolished”?

Joe: Thanks for the information. Do I actually type in “issuu.com”. I would think it would be “issue.com” though will try it.
