The Rapids theatre is still quite active booking local bands and hosting events. Here’s a link to its website: www.rapidstheatre.com

This might be of interest to one or two visitors: an ad featuring the Six Rockets (more info about them here: View link from the Falls Gazette, featuring them as the headline act at the Bellevue Theatre, part of “Keith-Albee Supreme Vaudeville.” They are described as Sensational European Lady Entertainers. NB: the silent movie shown on the poster was released 22 January 1927 in the USA.

This theatre seems to have 9 lives. I remember seeing movies there as a youth and happened to be in town one day years later when it was being converted into a disco – based on the photos I took at that time, it still had a fair amount of its historic decor intact. Hope this plan works.
