Paramount and Warner for sale for $150,000 a set 16 Jan 1977, Sun The News and Advance (Lynchburg, Virginia) Newspapers.com
The Paramount theatre was opened by Publix on November 21st, 1930. Grand opening ad posted.
Demolished 1983.
I just submitted an advertisement I scanned from the “Lynchburg News” that shows what I remember of the Paramount, that it was only showing X-rated movies by the 1970s. I remember my father telling me he remembered 6 theaters being downtown when he was growing up. The Paramount and Boonsboro must have been owned by the same institution or individual because the ads are together in one block.
Miss Toes has found something very interesting. The Trenton/Warner needs more research.
I was in LB today.A long time residemt said this theater is GONE.He also said two ther fine houses were on the same street-the ISIS and the WARNER.This gentleman’s wife is heavily involved with the Academy project.
“Fast and Loose”, the movie advertised on the marquee in the exterior shot, came out in 1930.
