The Trenton theatre opened on September 4th, 1911 and reopened as the Warner on August 22nd, 1950. Grand opening ads posted.
The September 9, 1950 issue of Boxiffice noted that the Warner Theatre in Lynchburg, formerly the Trenton, had recently opened following extensive renovations.
I went to see Disney’s “Jungle Book” and “The Aristocats” in this theatre. The last movie I ever saw in it was “Willard.” I will say that the Feds didn’t own that building; they sold the old court house to the city for its use and leased the structure built on the Warner site. The new Federal Court House is a wonderful building adapting and adding to an old school. They left the “warner site” because that building had sick building syndrome.
All it takes is a stroll thru the google world to see what a nice place this was.
