I have a Town Theatre, Smithtown Branch, NY with a seating capacity of 220, listed in the 1943 edition of Film Daily Yearbook as (Closed). It doesn’t appear in the 1941 edition of F.D.Y. that I have or the 1950 edition.
Smithtown had the 605 seat Smithtown Theatre operating in 1941 & 1943.
The 1926 edition of Film Daily Yearbook listing has the spelling Carleton Theatre, but I thought this was a ‘one off’ spelling mistake or typo. Obviously not!
There is an Amityville Theatre listed in the 1930 edition of Film Daily Yearbook with a seating capacity given as 515. The 1941 edition of F.D.Y. lists it as a 480 seat theatre, while in the 1943 edition it has a seating capacity listed as 734, which is the same as in 1950 edition of F.D.Y.
Listed in the 1941 and 1943 editions of Film Daily Yearbook as the Forest Theatre, Boulder Creek, CA with a seating capacity of 150. It is listed as (Closed) in both editions.
The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Liberty Theatre with 763 seats and the Odeon Theatre with 900 seats. In the 1943 edition of F.D.Y. the Odeon continues to operated but the Liberty is listed as (Closed).
The basement ballroom is adjacent to the still vacant lot where the Paramount/Odeon Cinema was located. It is in the basement of the apartment block named Paramount Court, and as Doolally states ‘is a lap dancing club, named Spearmint Rhino’.
The 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Mandan Theater at another address 212 Main Street W. The seating capacity is given as 576. So the Capitol Theatre is not the Mandan Theatre.
Mandan also had a Palace Theatre, 106 3rd Avenue NW which had a seating capacity of 530.
In the booklet ‘Ninety Years of Cinema in Cardiff’ by Brian Hornsey (published by Fuchiaprint, Stamford) he states….‘The Coliseum became one of the first bingo halls in the Cardiff area in around 1962, and thus films began to be shown part-time. Films ran on until January 1986. Bingo ran into the 1980’s….’
Thanks for the corrections on the opening film titles.
