Theatre also referred to as WONDERLAND or WONDERLAND OF THE EAST.
Late 1940s.
As Keith’s.
As the Playhouse.
Roberto Rossellini and Joe Palooka.
This former theatre is located not far from the Wickford Junction station of the MBTA commuter rail line.
This theatre was open and showing movies between May 1942 and April 1952, almost exactly ten years.
From Facebook group page “You’re probably from Plainfield, CT if…”
The theatre would have acually occupied the space to the right of that building, where the car can be seen.
“Kings of the Forest,” made in 1912.
This theatre was very popular during the 1940s with service personnel and families at nearby Quonset Naval Air Base.
Looks like the projection booth in the rear.
Candy case from the theatre.
Theatre visible in rear.
From a Central Falls Facebook page.
Sad end to what looks to have been a cinema of distinction.
I see titles from 1955 and 1960 here.
From the intersection of Ward Avenue and Plainfield Avenue. Only photo of the theatre I have ever seen. Moosup United Methodist Church also visible to the right.
In 1941.
It can be seen right of center.
Closed due to fire.
…and theatre entrance.
I don’t remember ever seeing matchbook publicity of specific movies.
