Too bad about this one. I would have liked to see it when I visit Cleveland. I think this was built by my Great Uncle John Kalafat and his Associated Theaters. I know his sister, my grandmother lived across the street in the brick house that is still there.
I have a ½ dozen El Ray Monthly schedules the last one for August 1946. The Analy was at the site of the current Safeway parking lot on the north-west end of main street about 300 feet back from the corner. I spent a lot of time in the Analy as a kid in the middle-late 1960’s.
Two door down from my parents place lived the Gambogi’s, I grew up with their sons. Across the street from them lived Norma Gambogi. She was a Tocchini. She always had her hair in a white beehive with fancy black rimmed glasses and drove a red Cadillac convertible.
I used to listen to her and my late mother talk about the movie house business. My mothers Uncle, who she worked for in the 1930’s, was president of Associated Theaters of Cleveland, Ohio.
It killed me when the Analy was sold. It was a great old movie house. In Santa Rosa in the old railroad square area is another Tocchini move house with the name Tocchihi still on it. It is now a night club of some sort.
