Blue Ridge Theatre

Per Jim Crowley: “The Blatt Brothers (Chuck, Jake and Bill) started the business in East Brady and spread all over Western Pennsylvania and Southwestern New York. All told there were over 35 Theatres and Drive-ins they operated. The Governor was named in honor of their mother Catherine Blatt who after her husband passed away raised 7 kids without anyone’s help. After my grandfather Jack Crowley passed the Blatt’s offspring decided it was time to go in another direction as conglomerate Mega Theatres started popping up.”
