The Gem Theatre, mentioned in a 1909 ad, was at the corner of Broad and Foundry streets, as was the Casino. I believe the Gem might have become the Casino or that the folks that opened the Casino might have used the same hall used by the Gem folks. That’s my guess.
The film title on the banner over the entrance is “Gloria’s Romance,” which was a 1916 movie-serial with Billie Burke. It had 20 episodes, all of which are now lost.
The first film I ever saw here was Ken Loach’s “Kes” in 1970. It was a film of stunning beauty that forever defined my memory of this cinema that premiered it.
