i hope someone in that area of New York can get more info.I could barely read the old movie ad.
The Cecilwood Theatre was on Main Street in Fishkill, New York (not Newburgh). They were a summer stock playhouse and I have not found evidence that they showed movies.
July 4th, 1948 grand opening ad in photo section. Opened as a playhouse and started to show movies in 1949.
The Cecilwood was a “strawhat” summer legit theatre that sometimes showed movies but not regularly enough to qualify as a cinema. But it was located near Beacon, which is across the Hudson River from Newburgh, and in a different county. If listed at all at CT, the Cecilwood should be under Beacon, not Newburgh.
W. Cecil Gage built the Cecilwood Theatre in 1948. The theatre was located on Main Street (Route 52) in Fishkill. A news item in 1948 gave the seating as 352 seats. The Cecilwood Theatre was demolished in 1985.
