I THINK it opened ABOUT 1950? Info I have says Georgia Theater Company of Atlanta had it open in 1967.
tisloews, I seem to remember a shipmate I knew who was from Waycross telling me that a bunch of different railroads crossed each other in this town so it was called Ways Cross which became Waycross. “Join the NAVY and lean all kinds of things!”
Open from ABOUT 1950-1964? I’m fairly sure it was closed by 1967.
The owner from ABOUT 1955-1964 was Martin Theater of Georgia and Alabama Incorporated in Columbus, Georgia. They had around 159 theaters in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisinana, Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington State. A number of those theaters were built especially for CINERAMA.
Can anyone come up with the exact address of the Roxy?
Andy, good for you, finding this one. All the times I’ve been in Clearwater since I was a kid and I’ve never noticed this one. I know I’ve been on Fort Harrison Avenue, cause south of here is the old Fort Harrison Hotel. Now the hotel, along with the, as far as I know still incomplete Super Power Building, across the street, is part of the, big FLAG Service Organization Scientology Complex.
Anyway I could not find anything about the theater, I hope someone else does!
The Google Street Photo shows a good view of the old Opera House. You can still see Opera House still faintly painted in the stone at the top of the building. Remolding was being done on the first floor when the photo was taken. Anyone know if the work is done yet and if anything is now useing the first floor?. The door to the second floor has IOOF on it, that’s for the Benevolent and Altuistic fraternal organization, Indepedent Order of Odd Fellows.
A photo can tell you a lot! Anyone have any old photos or other info?
THE FILM DAILY YEAR BOOK OF MOTION PICTURES, of 1967 shows the Starlite Drive-In, 54 Drive-In and Luna Theater (all in Kankakee) all under the Theater Circuit of L & M Management Company, Incoroporated, (with 15 theaters)120 South La Salle Street, Chicago, J. R. Gottlieb, President.
You guys got me on this one, I worked for Hartzog Schneck Aviation at the then called Greater Rockford Airport (now Chicago/Rockford Internatioanal Airport) and never heard of this one.
The original address confused Google Maps and it showed the entire United States. After trying every combination I could find, this address came the closest to the Boat-In. If anyone can do any better, let us know.
I’ve been in Dunedin many times, but not lately. Wished I knew about this and checked this out! Anyone know if the Dunedin Plaza Shopping Center is now called the Coastal Shopping Center? What is the Cinema now used for?
Joe, you entered some Boxoffice info on the Cricket, but it was the second listing for the same theater and so that Cricket listing was deleted. I thought that might happen so I made a copy before it disapeared. Do you want to enter the Boxoffice info on the original Cricket listing or should I?
I haven’t been down to Dunedin for a few years now, but all the times I’ve driven on Broadway and never knew a theater had once been there. Can’t recall a bank being there, what is it’s name?
which I matched up with the present day Google map. I sorta see that the roads made a clover leaf, if that’s what the name came from.
Chuck1231 says hand bills say Main St.(Hwy.219) at Wilson Rd., looking at the present day Google Map Photo, I can guess that this would have been a great site for a drive-in.
A Newberry Drive-In was also in town, perhaps the map and photo I found that are for the Clover Leaf are really for the Newberry??????
Any address or photos?

Christopher, do you know what business is in the theater now?
The Palace was not part of the Stein Theaters Circuit by 1967 so it was either with another circuit or had closed.

The address I got, Wilson Road & College Street, I got from the map and photo from
