The above article from the Lockport Journal deals with a theft at the theatre where the copper coils from the air conditioners were stolen. What a shame!
I enjoyed seeing the classic film The Sound of Music on the big screen at Shea’s. It was quite an experience and it was nice to see so many families in attendance.

I had a chance to see this theatre in the late 80’s. It’s nice to see that it is still in use.
If my memory serves me,during the 70’s the Teck was having trouble getting first run films because the distributors were playing them in the suburban plexes.
The Teck began showing B movies, R rated adult films, and martial arts films.

Patsy,
The LeRoy Theatre (LeRoy,NY) is listed as a Michael DeAngelis theatre.
The theater in Niagara Falls opened as a 16mm house but later was converted to 35 mm. It eventually became an adult cinema and closed in 2003. Today it is used as a retail store

A great place to watch a film. Plenty of leg room, an enormous screen,fresh popcorn at a reasonable price and the charm of a historic theatre.
There is a film series (www.hocn.org)featuring documentaries at this theatre taking place now. It has been a while since films were screened here.

The theatre in New Jersey sounds identical to the Jerry Lewis Cinema in Niagara Falls,NY. It is currently used as an OTB.

The above website deals with an award given to the volunteers at the Riviera by a local preservation group.
I went by the theatre today and noticed the first run film Eclipse and a play by a local theatre group both running at the same time.
It is nice to see the theatre is being used.
