Adelphi Theatre

The March 30, 1910 issue of the Reynoldsville Star made reference to “the opening play” at the Adelphi Theatre, which was to take place April 7. Other sources confirm April 7, 1910 as the opening date. The names Adelphi and Adelphia seem to have been used interchangeably in the house’s early years, with stage publications such as the Cahn guide and Hill’s directory usually using the former and the movie trade journals most often using the latter.
