This 12/04 LA Times story mentions the Avalon. I thought it was funny that the reporter used CT to look up the theaters instead of doing the research on his own.

Here is a November 1926 item from the Placerville Mountain Democrat:

A $40,000 motion-picture theater was opened October 28 in Atascadero. The theater has been built with a seating capacity of 550 and is equipped with an $8,000 pipe organ, the report indicated.

You’re talking about the building with the flag on it that says Zap on the front?

kencmcintyre commented about Orpheum Theatre on Sep 16, 2009 at 11:42 pm

This is from the same paper in November 1946, so it looks like North State Street is correct.

Santa Claus will also visit the business area this season and a special committee has been named to work out the details. The committee is composed of Charles Daniels, Laverne Nelson and Ed Porter. A community Christmas tree will be sponsored this year and arrangements will be made to place the tree on the vacant lots north of the Orpheum Theater on North State street.

This is an excerpt from a February 2006 story on the Stadium Theater in the Alton Telegraph:

S.E. Pirtle operated the popular Stadium in its early days, when every town had a theater, and Jerseyville had three. The movie entrepreneur also ran the Orpheum Theater on North State Street, now the Jerseyville Banking Center lot. The Jersey Theatre was on South State Street.

This was in the Port Arthur News in September 1944. Perhaps the remodeling mentioned above followed this blaze, although the theater is called the Lindale and not Linda.

LINDALE, Tex., Sept. 19 (UP)â€"Three Lindale buildings were in ashes today after a fire which threatened the entire town was brought under control late Monday night by equipment from the Tyler fire department. Damage was estimated at $31,000. No one was injured.

The blaze started in the projection booth of the Lindale theater, spread to two nearby buildings, and threatened a drug store and the post office before being brought under control. Estimated losses were the Lindale theater, $16,000; Martin Bowers' furniture store, $10,000; and Lee Hicks' cafe and grocery, $5000.

On the Beulah theater page.

You were asking about the Beulah once being known as the Roxy. I think the Roxy is one of the ND theaters listed in the ad.

The Grand was owned and operated by Lee Norton in the 1950s. He also owned the Sullivan Drive-In on Route 32 at that time.
