1969 photo of the Boyd Theatre via American Classics.

This photo is incorrectly labeled Allentown. Mr. Wolfe sets us straight as below (his comment elsewhere copied & pasted here)

The photo that you posted above is not the Boyd in Allentown, Pa., but rather the Boyd Theatre in EASTON, Pa.

I had posted this info once before, and notice now that it has been removed. This photo had been attached to the Easton posting, but is now gone from there and has for some reason returned here.

Not all listings on americanclassicimages are correct.

I know the theatre in that photo only too well, as I had my first theatre job there as an usher, and latter leased the theatre. I was the final operator, having closed it in May of 1972 when I lost my lease when it had been purchased by E-Park to be demolished for a parking lot.

A Kilgen organ, opus 4301, was installed in this theater in 1929.

The last operator of the Boyd in Easton PA was Angstadt and Wolfe Theatres. Richard Wolfe now runs the Cinema Treasures favorite (featured in the new book)the Roxy Theatre in Northampton Pennsylvania.
