It sounds like this theatre is in a decaying part of St. Louis and its fate is probably written in stone now due to the declining area. However, I do hope to see some vintage photos here of this once great theatre in the near future!
Lost Memory: Your Oct 13, 2005 post features a vintage photo though I couldn’t bring it up and would like to see what this theatre once looked like and to think it was added to the NRHP in just ‘85 which isn’t that long ago. What happened to this theatre and the interior as those photos are very hard to view?
Lost Memory: Your Aug. 14, 2007 posted photo of the ticket kios is very nice. During my visit to Knoxville over the holidays that ticket kios had a very familiar person inside…Santa Claus! At night the marquees were lighted and it was a joy to see them shining brightly as I drove down Gay Street in Knoxville TN.
I recently visited the Tennessee and received a lovely full tour by resident organist, Dr. Bill Snyder. He even treated my husband and I to a private lovely 4 tune concert ending with, of course, the Tennessee Waltz. I also stepped into the Regal Cinema to check it out as they are headquartered in Knoxville along with Martha White Flour and HGTV, by the way! On the walls of the Regal are large b/w vintage photos of Knoxville so be sure to look up when you enter! And by the entrance doors is a vintage projector!
Thanks…I did check out the theatre’s website and clicked on tours so hopefully a tour will work out while in Tampa….sure hope so! I plan to give them a call.
dave-bronx: Thanks so much for posting this arcadia publishing site as I plan to order a book since visting all of these theatres this past summer while in Cleveland visiting Ohio friends.
I know a man from Effingham who owns a large car related business so perhaps he might be interested in purchasing this theatre or know someone who might have interest!
Guess this E show was broadcast more than once according to another post by “shoeshoe14” on Nov 14….which happens to be my wedding anniversary! Wonder what really happened between that famous former couple and their marriage?
The E network recently broadcast a segment about Moore and Willis and their presence in Hailey ID. It not only showed photos of the Liberty, but also a theatre named The Mint.
Would love to see a photo(s) of this former Statesville NC theatre. I recently visited the town and wondered if there had been a theatre…Broad Street is the town’s “main street”.
Lost Memory: What a wonderful evening photo of a wonderful theatre with a wonderful name…Ringling. BTW, the Ringling home and grounds in Sarasota FL are a must-see!
I guess the theatre’s heydays were from 1925 to 1949…24 years of glory. And I see that after the word, Owner it reads….Private. Who owns the building?

Lee: A real shame to lose (or soon lose) a theatre with the WARNER name!
Will Dunkin: Sorry I missed you while in Knoxville. Sure enjoyed the theatre tour by Dr. Snyder…such a nice man!

What a cute little theatre that is no more! Any interior photos?

HowardBHaas: Thanks for posting the interesting article. I plan to be in FL in early Feb. and will include a tour of this theatre! Are tours given?

Still hoping to see some photos this theatre! Thanks.
Is this theatre just “closed” or was it demolished? I have written a Raleigh friend and will hopefully get the answer!
My April 19,2007 post talks about this person and his connection to an event called Fun Fest.

LOUB: Yes, it’s nice when theatres do both…films and live entertainment!
In the photo I doubt that these are the original doors..too bad they changed them out, imo.

Lost Memory: GREAT PHOTO!
HowardBHaas: These theatre photos are fabulous! Thanks for posting!
Such a shame that the quaint NC mountain town of Blowing Rock doesn’t have this theater.

So sorry to read this. Keep CT members posted on future developments. I had hoped to meet Mr. McNab this past summer, but never got that opportunity.
