According to the Hardin Website none of the three theatres listed are open. The Redwood Falls Twin was the last to list a movie which was from 12/26 thro ½/13
The former Dale Theatre building is still standing. If you do a street view and go down N. Merrick you can see where the exit doors have been bricked in. Also on the street view the same buildings next to the theatre on E. Broad St. in the photo are the same as the ones next door to the theatre in the street view.
fs805, if you look at the link that kenmcintyre posted on 03-21-10 it shows the same photo from the Houston Public Library stating it was the Dowling Theatre. It has an exterior and interior photo.
Different place altogether, the building at 5804 Weaver is the Kingdom Place Ministry, the former theatre building at 3415 McClellum Blvd. is Beyond Imagination and still uses the roadside marquee.
Mike, when ordering stills or one sheets from National Screen Service they were purchased outright, the theatre could do what they wanted with. The 30x40’s and the 40x60 had to be returned.
Tp, jwmovies has listed a lot of addresses that have been changed to wrong addresses. Everything that is available on this drive-in lists the address as 1526 Parkview. In the old listings for Mid-
America Theatres it lists the address as 1526 Parkview. You would think that the company that owned the theatre would know the correct address of their theatres.
popcornnroses, there was a 35mm documentary on the Revolutionary War that played matinees at the Washington Theatre in Granite City, Il. There were busloads of kids from the Junior Highs and Granite City High bused to the theatre for these showings. It wasn’t a mainstream motion picture and was shown for the Jr. High & High schoold kids.
Wsasser in your comment second to last paragraph you said in Oct 1986 it opened as the New American and remained open until June 1966. Did you mean it remained open until June 1996?

I don’t know where jwmovies is getting his addresses but a lot of correct addresses have been changed to his incorrect addresses.

jimroy, your link has some great photos and a great deal of history. link
The Wilder & Washington Avs. address is correct, if you look at the Hybrid map you can see the emply lot.
The theatre has been converted to all digital projection & sound.
wsasser, you think that the Stockade Auto-Torium could have been called the Palisades Drive-In at One time?

If the address is correct that address is a single family home. S. 6th St. dead ends at the end of the block.

Does this Cinema stil have 12 screens? On their web site it doesn’t reflect 12 screens.
The only way you can get this to map is using the following address: Old Virginia St & Cross St., Urbanna, Middlesex, Virginia 23175
Added opening day photo to photos.
jjfarmer, LOL you didn’t sound snotty and I do appreciate any corrections to comments that I make.
