The September 6, 1919 issue of Moving Picture World said that the Stratford Theatre in Poughkeepsie had been taken over by Famous Players-Lasky. By 1926, Famous Players also had a house called the Bardavon Theatre as well as the second-run Liberty in Poughkeepsie. In 1933 the Stratford was being operated by Publix.
