In 1946-47, I enjoyed many a Saturday matinee at the Idle Hour Theater located on the north side of Plymouth Road west of Greenfield.

I have no records of an Idle Hour Theatre in Detroit. There is no theatre by this name in any Film Daily Yearbooks that I have (between 1941 and 1950), nor is there a theatre by this name in the Stuart Galbraith IV book “Motor City Marquees”.
I do however see there was the Atlas Theatre, 15832 Plymouth Road, Detroit, which maps out 3 blocks west of Greenfield Avenue. The Atlas Theatre, opened in 1939 and has its own page listing on Cinema Treasures.
There was an Idle hour theatre on W.Vernor (4435 W.Vernor) that opened in 1909 as Smith’s theatre, was renamed the Idle hour in 1911 and closed in 1912.
