Rainbow Angels Ensemble commented about Park Theatre on Feb 8, 2023 at 5:10 am

Unruly crowds of young people were intimidating and bullying other patrons initially. But, the final “nail in the coffin” was when a patron was killed by a steel ball bearing thrown from the balcony that hit a patron close to the front row in the back of the head thus killing them. The Park Theatre closed down after this incident and never reopened. The sad end to a very nice neighborhood theatre due to changing patron patterns giving way to a dangerous and finally deadly attack.

Rainbow Angels Ensemble commented about Bijou Theatre on Jan 17, 2023 at 12:40 pm

The Bijou Theater was showing mostly indie and art films in 1977-78. This theater was definitely in the SE corner building at the intersection of Lake Dr, Wealthy and Norwood SE.

Rainbow Angels Ensemble commented about Yale Theatre on Nov 26, 2022 at 1:42 pm

This theater goes back to 1921. The Princess came before this house in the earlier 1900’s. The article about the dispute over playing films on Sunday below indicates both were going concurrently. The ads continue into the 1920’s but stop in 1923 or so. That is not to say the theater didn’t last longer. The Yale Theater seems to have been conceived in 1937 by the owner of the Princess but was a new facility.
