I went back from the archives of both the Osceola Sentinel and the Osceola Tribune, and I don’t see any Osceola Theatre showtimes from 1957 nor later, and neither as late as 1970. Its last showtimes I saw were from 1956, even the Osceola Theatre still didn’t receive CinemaScope at the time. The Lyric was the only theater in Osceola to have CinemaScope which was installed on July 11, 1954 with its first CS film being Doris Day in “Lucky Me”.
As of the late-1950s, the Osceola newspapers only show showtimes for the Lyric Theatre there and the Murray Theatre in neighboring Murray, which tells me what totally happened to the Osceola Theatre after its last attraction. There’s no information on why it closed.
During the massive growth of movie theaters across Japan during the latter half of the 1950s, Hiroshima City had a grand total of 52 movie theaters as of 1960, with ten of them in its Main Street known as the Aioi-dori in Hiroshima. Unfortunately Hiroshima had a massive downfall to just 28 movie theaters as of 1980.
Both the Hiroshima Toei Theater on the fourth floor and the Hiroshima Toei Underground Theater in the basement both in a reinforced concrete building opened their doors on September 28, 1956, with the Hiroshima Toei Theater screening Toei films with 1,110 seats while the Hiroshima Toei Underground Theater screened foreign films with 460 seats. The Underground Theater was later renamed the Hiroshima Toei Palace on September 2, 1972, while the fourth floor theater retained its original name. This was followed by a downgrade of its seating in both auditoriums from 1,110 and 460 to 718 and 352.
Both the Hiroshima Toei and Palace Theaters closed on April 12, 1993 due to the aging of the building, and the building was complete rebuilt, taking an estimate of more than two years to build.
The two theaters reopened on the 8th floor of the Hiroshima Toei Plaza Building as the Hiroshima Toei and Hiroshima Louvre on October 7, 1995 with the Japanese film “Kura” in Screen 1 and Clint Eastwood in “The Bridges At Madison County” in Screen 2, with a downsized capacity of 436 seats (258 in Toei and 178 in Louvre) featuring both 35mm projection and Dolby 5.1 sound. The Toei theater retains as a Toei, while the Louvre theater shows foreign films from Shochiku and Tokyu as an affiliation of the Marunouchi Louvre chain, but occasionally shows films from all three auditoriums of Tokyo’s Marunouchi Piccadilly. It’s box office was located on the first floor, and both the Toei and Louvre auditoriums had a single slope with their screens being installed at a high position so that way the attendance could easily see the picture from any position.
Unfortunately in the 2000s, attendance numbers begin to decline due to the influence of multiplexes, as well as the nearby popularities of the TOHO Cinemas Midori, the Warner Mycal Cinemas Hiroshima, and the Hiroshima Wald 11.
The Hiroshima Toei and Hiroshima Louvre closed for the final time on November 13, 2009, and after its closure, the site of the ticket office was converted into a prize exchange office for the Shinrai no Mori Hiroshima Hatchobori store.
On September 28, 2014, the eighth floor of the Toei Plaza Building was again reopened back as a movie theater under the Salon Cinema name, which was relocated from its original location in the Takanobashi area of Otemachi, Naka Ward.
The original Salon Cinema originally opened in 1959 as the Takanobashi OS (later renamed Takanobashi Nichigeki), followed by a second theater named the Takanobashi Daiei in 1962. The Takanobashi OS was renamed the Salon Cinema 1 on March 1, 1972 and the Nichigeki was renamed the Salon Cinema 2 on April 29, 1994. Both theaters closed on August 31, 2014 and were relocated to the former sites of the Hiroshima Toei and Hiroshima Louvre the following month.
First operated by Loews (not Loew’s Inc), later operated by Sony Theatres, then back to Loews, then Loews Cineplex, then AMC, then Starplex, and back to AMC.
The State Theatre opened its doors on June 22, 1950 with Betty Grable in “Wabash Avenue” with no extras. Loew’s Inc. took the theater over in 1968 and was twinned on June 26, 1974. It was later operated by just simply Loews and was renamed “Loews State Twin”.
It was last operated by Sony Theatres who closed it on July 16, 1995 with “Species” in Screen 1 and “Power Rangers” in Screen 2. Exactly one week later, a local church group bought the former theater and was converted into a church.
My best guess is that the NRHP made a huge mistake.
Also to note, December 28, 1934 is on a Friday, while December 28, 1935 is on a Saturday. It opened on a Friday evening.
