Among my grandfather Albert S. “Al” Johnson’s Johnson Construction Company theater job slides is an April 1949 image of the Delux Theatre, which had just opened three months earlier. I’ve uploaded a copy to this site. “Rose of the Yukon” can be seen on the marquee.
The Delux stood at 45835 Van Dyke Avenue in Utica. Al Johnson’s slide shows a relatively large modern building with a beautifully curved entrance, elegant signage and three pairs of doors.
Ghost sign added, 9/22/18 photo & description credit Carol Gombert Pietrantoni.
The February 26, 1949, issue of Boxoffice reported that F. R. Spangler, operator of the Capitol Theatre at Utica, had recently opened the new Delux Theatre. Spangler intended to continue operating the Capitol as well.
There are then-and-now pictures of the Delux on this webpage.
