Interesting that you were last week. I was there in October. Spoke to some locals about the restored ‘facade only’ restoration.

Are there any interior photos available?

On April 21, 2011 this theatre will feature the disco group out of Canada, Boogie Wonderband. I have seen them in person and they are unbelievable! So if you love disco music of the 70’s, put on your dancing shoes and head to Windber PA.

Is the site still an empty “plot”…perhaps the right word since it has been demolished and “died”. A Google search has shown that Rochester PA is in Beaver County which is the same area of another DeAngelis designed theatre, the Granada which has also been demolished.

And dare I ask what is on the Oriental Theatre site now? Nice to know that the organ was spared along with many of the artifacts, but the theatre should have been saved and never made into a disco lounge.

Thanks so very much for posting that photo, but OMG…..another beautiful theatre demolished! This did NOT make my theatre day!

Where is Rochester PA? And to think this theatre was an atmospheric/oriental designed by Michael DeAngelis…guess that didn’t mean much to the residents of Rochester!

What is at 119 W.Spring Street now? After viewing the theatre photos of the marquee and exterior I see that Titusville had a lovely streamline moderne theatre that should not have been demolished.

This theatre being a DeAngelis designed theatre holds interest to me. Do you have photos?

Wonderful story!

I now have called the realty company who is listed as having the theatre property and left a “theatre” message!

Will be going to Mt. Morris on Sunday and hope to see at least the facade of this DeAngelis designed theatre.

jaybird21: I located a number for this Paul Penner, but no answer or answering machine. I will be in Warsaw NY on Sunday and would love to see the row of maroon glass panels that are still above one’s head as you stand in front of the doors and the interior art deco wall designs that can be seen on the “picturesofthisproperty” site. And the boxoffice link doesn’t seem to work.

I just learned of this theater and its restoration so don’t think it should be listed as “closed” anymore.

Agility Nut: I have forwarded your CT question onto the present owner of the Rogers, Gary Kulas.

Perhaps the theatre that was the original Cloud is where these cars are stored.

Patsy commented about St. Cloud Twin Theatre on Sep 28, 2010 at 12:43 pm

I remember a theatre in St. Cloud that was owned by a car collector who stored his cars there. Is that still the case as only 2 theatres in St. Cloud are listed and I don’t think either one is the theatre I recall seeing years ago.

Patsy commented about El Dorado Theater on Sep 27, 2010 at 6:46 pm

I just the Pickers episode, but didn’t see the balcony and stage areas though did see a glimpse of the marquee at the end of the show. I agree with David Zornig….hope when the current owners vacate, that it can put back to use as a theater.

Patsy commented about Strand Theater on Sep 15, 2010 at 10:13 am

Did it orignally have a balcony and who is this businessman who owns the Strand? Is he responsible for “carving up” the interior?

When was this theatre triplexed?? It may be the only existing Michael DeAngelis designed theatre that has been divided with three screens!

Patsy commented about Don & Ann Brown Theatre on Sep 7, 2010 at 9:45 pm

I lived in WPB for over 30 years and never entered this theatre which was located downtown near the library though I did go to the Paramount in nearby Palm Beach. Now that I’m a theatre buff I wish the theatre’s originality had not been compromised and it was as it opened in 1949. Strange to learn that this theatre never had a balcony.

Patrick: I just printed out the article that you posted on September 7. Would love to see your DeAngelis designed theatre someday. Please email me at at your convenience to set up a possible tour. Current plans later this Fall are to see the Strand in Brockport NY which is also a DeAngelis theatre.

I have told by a fellow CT member who lives near that theatre that the facade was saved.

What was the famous Marcus Loew quote? And yes, major cities that didn’t save their movie palaces should see this very eloquent and exquisite “cinema treasure”.
