The March 2, 1937 issue of Film Daily reported that “William J. Schulte Circuit’s new Radio City Theater opened recently in Ferndale, Mich., with the Mayor, Council and other officials present.”
The Radio City Theatre in Ferndale, Michigan appears on my uncle’s Johnson Construction Company job list, but without a project date. Unfortunately my grandfather Albert S. “Al” Johnson’s theater project slide collection does not include any shots of this theater. For such an impressive theater, its absence in his slide collection is curious.
It’s not clear if my grandfather built the theatre in 1937 or if perhaps he did a later remodeling job. All of his theater jobs were completed between the early 1930s and 1952.
A photo of the Radio City, probably from 1964, can be seen here.
I Saw a few movies there, it was a nice theatre. It was torn down when the Federals Dept. Store was demolished.
