Can someone post a picture of the White theater? I must have walked hundreds of times past the theater and never knew it was there. I was A Freshman at Forest Ave HS in Sept 52'—-Jun53'. I would walk down Forest Ave toward Forest Ave theater everyday after school. I lived in back of the Forest theater on Pennsylvania. I cant believe I didnt know there was a white theater on Forest Ave that close to my house.

I was aware of the Dal-Sec—-went there hundreds of times over the years. I saw the Cobra Woman there With Maria Montez, Jon Hall, Sabu, Lon Chaney Jr.
As a youngster I love those Jon Hall Maria Montez movies.

I went to the lagow theater many times—-I saw She wore a yellow ribbon there in 51'—-I saw the Francis talking mule movies there. And of course I saw movies at the Forest Ave theater. The one I remember best was Martin and Lewis “Jumping Jacks”.

I would like to see what the White theaer looked like in the 40’s or 50’s.

Thanks!

I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut hole that there was no White theater at 1628 Forest ave in 1952. There may have been a white theater on Forest Ave but it wasn’t at 1628. !628 would put the theater a block from Forest Ave High School. I went to Forest Ave High School in 1952-53. Lets try to locate the real address of the theater. I know there were no theaters between Forest ave High and the Forest ave theater, so—-it must have been on past the Forest Ave theater. It had to have been. It could have been a mile or more from 1628 Forest Ave. I’m not aware the theater ever existed but I know it wasn’t a block from Forest High school.
