The most intense night of my life happened in the aftermath of having seen Clockwork Orange at the Miami-Western when the movie first came out. It was my fate to live-out the horrendous scene in which there came a knock on the door while rain was pounding down. The assailant was the (former) friend who I’d seen Clockwork Orange with, as I was baby-sitting an Oxford studio while the owner was in Europe. Trust me I’m not making this stuff up. Regardless of the gory details I miss the Miami-Western.. and it’s then-complimentary Talawanda.
Wonder how many folks showed up at that last show? And I’ve been wondering for decades if the great historic marquee was salvaged by someone and maybe sitting in their back yard right now..
I really miss the great old historic marquee of The Collingswood with it’s “photoplays”…
I wonder where it ended up and wonder if it’s still intact somewhere?

Very Nice!! Again, I SO miss that grand ole marquee.. “photoplays”
“Photoplays” … oh how I miss seeing that on Collingswood Theatre’s magnificent old marquee
I lived in Oxford from 1966 through about 1972 and have fond memories of the Talawanda!
