Located in Bradford’s landmark Hooker-Fulton Building, an ornate Art Deco eight-story building on Main Street, the Main Street Movie House opened December 25, 1935, four years after the Hooker-Fulton building was completed.
Originally the New Bradford Theatre, later the Bradford Theatre, and still later, the Bradford Cinema, the Main Street Movie House is operated by the Dipson Theatres chain as a first-run twin theater.
This theater is a different Bradford Theatre from an earlier theater of that name, which existed from 1903 until its demolition in 1961, and was later called the Shea’s.

Here’s a 2007 view of the BRADFORD: http://www.boxsetgallery.com/stein/index.html
Architected by the firm of Lawrie and Green – Ritchie Lawrie and M. Edwin Green – opening day for the New Bradford Theatre was December 25, 1935. It included a visit from the reigning Miss America as well as a short she starred in and the film, “$1,000 a Minute.”
Is that interior photo from the right theater? It looks impossibly old fashioned for 1935, and much larger than I remember the rather dreary auditorium from a long ago visit.
