The Kenmore Theatre! I went to the Kenmore to see “King Kong” in 1976. My brother and I sat in the balcony. The place was huge and the lobby was beautiful, this was just before the theatre was chopped into a multi-plex cinema. In 1980 I went to a few movies there with my sister and friends and the cinemas were so small and the picture and sound was so limited. Memories… :–)
Hi!
I worked at the Wellmont Theatre while in high school. So, I can tell you that the Wellmont was on 400 Bloomfield Ave. with a huge beautiful marquee, until about 1988 (the late 1980’s). The Wellmont was owned by Mr. Roberts of Robeert’s Theatres, and he sold the building. That was when the marquee was distroyed and the Bloomfield Ave entrance and lobby was converted into a store-front. What a shame!! I have some very fun memories and stories about the Wellmont Theatre. The price of tickets was $4.50 adult and $2.00 children and seniors when I started and then increased to $5.00 adult and $2.50 children and seniors. I will post some of my fun stories another time. :–)
