The Felton Theatre’s design was criticized as being benign and more garage-like in 1919/20 - an era in which movie palaces were being designed even outside of downtown areas. So its interior was remodeled just five years after opening by the firm of Magaziner, Eberhard & Harris getting a raised roof, new organ, and increased backstage area. The results put it on par with other neighborhood palaces of the day.

Sad to see it closed and so run-down. I saw many a matinee (@ $.16) at the Felton in the ‘40s. We lived about six blocks away, on Thelma St.
