Closed permanently on July 5, 1958 with “The Delicate Delinquent” and “The Tall Texan.”
The Strand closed for the final time on July 5, 1958 with “Delicate Delinquent” and “The Tall Texan” with no extra subjects.
This opened as Rivoli on November 25th, 1918, Rex on August 12th, 1929 and as the Strand on February 3rd, 1936. All 3 grand opening ads are in the photo section.
Another strand theatre opened on October 19th, 1915. Could this be the same one?
Lawrence T. Lester was accused, tried, and not found guilty of arson when the silent-era Rivoli Theatre at this address was torched in 1925. Photos of the pre-torched Rivoli here. Rebuilt as the Rex Theatre in the sound era becoming the Strand.
