Ronnie21, the Warner theater closed November 29, 1977.
The September 17, 1938, issue of Motion Picture Herald said that David Supowitz had acted as consulting architect for the Warner Theatre, then under construction in Wilmington.
From a Wilmington Fire Department photo page, Engine Company No. 8 @ Warner Theatre. No other info.

In the summer of 1973, Blue Oyster Cult and Peter Frampton played a live concert here because all the venues in Philly were booked. I was sitting in for the manager that week, and Frampton used my office for a dressing room. Two weeks later we held Wilmington’s first All Night Movie Horrorthon, including Night of the Living Dead and 3 other horror films. Started at midnight and lasted all night. But the biggest hit we had was when Tom Laughlin rented the theatre for his four-wall reissue of BILLY JACK which sold out almost every show. What a summer that was!
Nice picture Chuck1231
Can anyone give me info on the Cinemart on Gov Prinz? I can’t find any info anywhere, but, I stop to look at it every time I’m in the area. What a mystery. The only thing I can tell is that I was built in the 60’s due to the chandelier and font on the front sign.
Here is a photo, circa 1960s:

According to researh by Craig Morrison and Irv Glazer the architect was Wallace E. Hance
