monika commented about Ellet Theatre on Jun 19, 2009 at 2:14 pm

I believe it was Isabella.

Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet = creepy.

monika commented about Ellet Theatre on Jun 19, 2009 at 1:37 pm

Growing up in Akron, the Ellet was the neighborhood theatre for my mother and her siblings. She recalls seeing many films there, including “A Hard Day’s Night”, for which she and her friends waited in the line that snaked all the way around the block.

Ken, the tidbit about Ingrid Bergman is quite entertaining.

Here are three photographs I took of the California on Sunday May 17, 2009. There was a chain link fence around the front of the building, other than that it didn’t look any different to me as it had every other time I’d seen it over the last 15 years or so.

I think a book is a great idea. You’ve got a captive audience already.

Pat, great stories!

Jacob, is there any way of getting a schedule of films?
