The Orpheum Theatre was renamed the State Theatre in Early 1931, and was renamed the Park Theatre on September 10, 1937 shortly after the newer State Theatre opened nearby.
Dallas, I have a question. Do you know any movie theaters that actually did suffer more than two fires on the same day? Because I thought a theater suffering two fires within hours apart is actually very rare for a movie theater’s tragic part of history.
Correction: This first softly opened on January 18, 1974 with “American Graffiti”, with the official grand opening happening on January 25, 1974 with “The Way We Were”.
Opened on June 29, 1948 with Dan Dailey in “Give My Regards To Broadway” (unknown if extras added). What’s very strange about its opening is that they don’t allowed children under the age of 12 only on its opening day.
Current function is first-run, but performing arts are also added in rare occasions.
General Cinema opened the Newington Cinema I & II on February 20, 1969 with “The Wrecking Crew” in Screen 1 and “Funny Girl” in Screen 2. A third screen was added on October 15, 1976 and Showcase Cinemas took over the theater in 1982. National Amusements last operated the theater who closed it on July 13, 1997.

Looks like the marquee was still under construction that night.
Opened with Wheeler & Wooley in “Cracked Nuts” along with the Bosko Looney Tunes cartoon “Yodeling Yokels” and the Bobby Jones comedy “The Putter”.
That’s the most weirdest drive-in screen I’ve ever seen…
