ken mc: The color photo is great. So the style was art dco and the architect was Eberson? And then the words Closed/Demolished at the top of this link! Does the City of Toledo have any historical theatres still standing? I would like to visit Toledo this summer and tour an historical theatre rather than just reading about them.
As more information becomes available it will be interesting to read on CT. I have friends in the Orlando area who would enjoy seeing a downtown Orlando theatre once again since “it will be the first movie theatre to be located in the city’s center in 30 years. It’s about time!
I recently had dinner with a friend who grew up in Beaver PA and spoke of this theatre. If anyone has photos or additional information, please post. I thank you and so will my friend from Beaver PA.
Thanks for the info. So none of the theatres in theatre row in Boston still exist? When I was there in the mid 60’s I wasn’t into historical theatres so don’t recall seeing one.
I guess you can’t blame past generations, totally though it would be nice to see some of these theatre row theatres still being used and restored in Lawrence MA. I lived in Boston in the mid 60’s and don’t recall that Boston had a similar theatre row so perhaps it was before my time there.
“The street is mentioned in Ripley’s Believe It or Not as the only place in the world where one can find four movie theatres in a row.” I would love to read more about these 4 “theatre row” theatres as the concept is so unique and should have been preserved for future generations. Is there not one of these 4 still in existence? If not, the citizens of Lawrence MA should be ashamed.
Roloff: This is quite the “theatre row” postcard scene and it would be interesting to see this same city block today so perhaps Lost Memory will come through once again.
The Indiana Hotel is the same address as the Embassy Theatre so they are part of the same complex and worth seeing when in Ft. Wayne IN so I hope to venture that way in the near future.
I met Mark Herman and purchased his CD…what a talented young man and special evening at the Riviera in N. Tonawanda NY…former headquarters to the Mighty Wurlitzer!
“A.M. Strauss also designed Fort Wayne’s Paramount Theatre, which opened two years later (1930).” I can’t seem to find any CT information on the Paramount that was in Fort Wayne.
Would like to see some interior photos of this theatre.

That photo must have been taken on the 14h of July as that is Bastille Day in France!
Any interior photos?
I just check under the word Morris and found in South Bend Indiana the MORRIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER.
The Palace in South Bend doesn’t seem to be listed on CT nor the present name, Morris Civic Auditorium.
Photos would be nice to see, too!

LOL! Thanks and you are one of the reasons why I like CT so much!
I just answered my own question after reading that this beautiful art deco theatre was demolished.
All of the b/w photos of this truly beautiful art deco Warner theatre are spectacular.
After viewing the b/w photo with this theatre link does it still have that beautiful marquee?
Lost Memory: You have posted on my birthday!

The May 13, 2005 post by TC about the organ gives some photos.
ken mc: Other than the photo you recently posted are there any other exterior (or even interior photos) to be viewed?
I will be hearing the Embassy Theatre organist, Mark Herman at the Riviera Theatre in N. Tonawanda NY (Buffalo area) for their July organ recital.
