Marloplaywrite, I went to the Apollo once, to see “Death Rides A Horse” with Lee Van Cleef. The theater was in its last days.

Lost Memory, I am new to the post. I wish to express to you my wholehearted gratitude for sharing not only this vintage color photo of the Bridge Theater, but also the early scene of street cars, and thriving businesses etc. which brought back many memories. Among my most memorable films seen at the Bridge Theater were: “Invasion Of The Body Snatchers” (1956 version), “On The Threshold Of Space”, “The Hard Man”, etc.

The Stanley was a nice sized theater. I remember seeing “The Carpetbaggers” here.

Lost Memory, Thank you so much for posting that excellent photograph of the Centre Theatre surrounded by great memories of the landscape, such as; the No. 13 streetcar (I remember so well). At this theater, I remember seeing “Around The World In 80 Days”, “Oklahoma” and one or two other great movies. I remember “The Shrike” (I missed it) was also screened there. One of my biggest fantasies is to travel back in time with a high-end camera and take multiple shots of each Baltimore theater (and it’s architectural surroundings).

I attended the Carey Theater a many a Saturday…stayed all day watching my favorite western stars, Charles Starrett, Wild Bill Elliott,etc., those memorable “Purple Monster Strikes” chapter serials, cartoons, and those great Columbia Comedy Shorts. There were vendors who walked the isles with large cardboard boxes of goodies for sale strapped to their shoulders.
