I just added an early `50’s photo of the Estacada as the Broadway Theater. The building is identical to the present day Google view that disappeared when I added what is now the first photo.
Broadway should be added as another name to the Estacada description. (I also misspelled Estacada with a “c” in my description with the photo.)
According to the Redlands Footlanders' website, “The Curious Savage” opened at their new home the Grove Theatre in 1952. The above photo is opening night, and is likely the original source for the photo.
FYI, there are never before seen photos of the RKO Rochester on a website called www.RochesterSubway.com
Go to the “Select Month” feature, and click on “October 2012”. Then scroll down until you see the photos.
I’m unable to attach the link since CT changed their page format.
I forgot to add the name of the person who posted the 3 B&W 1948 photos, that I re-posted in the Photos Section above.
They were originally posted by Crystal Cheeseman Roling Porter to the “You know you’re from Freeport if…” Facebook page.
I should add “Debut” closed after only 5 performances because of poor reviews. But even if it was the last live show as the Holiday, it was still 1956. But early enough in the year that there is likely little record of it other than her website.
I just added a photo of the Holiday Theatre, with the live show “Debut” starring Inger Stevens on the marquee.
According to her website it opened there 2/22/56.
Which means live theater lasted one more year than the 1955 date in the Overview.
To CT Administrators, please add “Photo copyright J.J. Sedelmaier” to your main description of the Hoyburn Theatre. Since it is the only photo in the Photos Section of the Hoyburn, it is appearing in the overview by default. But the photo credit does not appear unless it is clicked on twice. Which won’t happen since it’s in the overview. Thanks.
They have a Facebook page called Theatre Dublin.
It says they will have a website soon: www.theatredublinga.com but it is not active yet.
Elvis impersonator Ben Portsmouth recently played there.
Just added a photo of the former Park Theatre in it’s current incarnation as the Montana Candy Emporium.
A Google search will also bring up a head on shot.
Status should be changed from “Demolished” as the building is still standing.
I just added a 1970 photo of the De Luxe Marquee and entrance to the Photos Section.

Have tried to add this link with the Thompson’s full history and source of the photo, but CT won’t work with Cut & Paste. Maybe someone else can add it.
I have the Theatre Talks LLC link from which the 1913 postcard image originates from.
The link has the full history of the Thompson’s Moving Pictures Theatre.
But I am unable to copy & paste it to this CT post.
I have sent the link to the CT Admins, and hope that they are able to share it here.
And replace the brief description I added when I added the theatre.
If anyone else can add the link it would be appreciated too.
The word Theatre shoulod be added to the name.
The word “Broadwalk” also needs to be changed to “Boardwalk”.
I just added a 1948 photo of the Odeon as the State Theatre. State should be added as an additional name for the Odeon.

I just added another photo from 1958. The Arkansas Capitol Building can be seen at the far end of the street in both photos.
I meant to say the same Virginia Theatre & buildings as in Ken’s 1937 photo posted on 8/26/06.
Redlands Footlighters I meant to type. Sure wish there was a way to correct comments on CT…

This was supposed to read 1946.

It’s on the Coronet page too LTS. The Coronet is at the 12:32 mark.
I just added a November 28th 1923 photo of the Milda Theater, courtesy of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago.

CT posted the photo before I could finish writing the description. The Standard Theatre marquee is on the right in 1958. Photo source unknown.
Correction, Ben Portsmouth will be playing there August 8th.

Just added a photo circa 1965 courtesy of Dorn’s Classic Images, www.dornsclassicimages.com Found on the Robert’s World Facebook page.
It also confirms the Lyric was open at least until 1965, beyond the 1951 date in the Overview.
