Before moving to the Park Theater as manager, in 1929 (nine years after it had opened, in 1920), Mr. DeFiore had been the manager at the Victory (“Hunt’s”/“The Broadway”) on 4th Street, in Wilmington (none of these names are listed on Cinema Treasures). That theater closed in 1929, when Mr. DeFiore resigned to become the manager at the Park Theater.
