Philip Foto opened the new-build, $37,500 Foto’s Folly Theatre on November 15, 1915. Sound was added to the venue to remain viable. United Theatres Circuit took on the venue losing Foto’s name. United closed the West Bank Folly Theatre following the May 7, 1961 showing of “The Great Impostor”
Interesting design – a long, narrow and low building – obviously all seating on one level – looks like it could have been a large ballroom originally – there are filled-in windows on the side.
Here is a photo circa 2007:
