Trolleyguy The Columbia and adjacent buildings were demolished in 1962 and replaced by the Rising Sun State Bank. I have uploaded a newspaper photo from July 26, 1962 announcing this.
Uploaded a 1948 image of the State together with a partial ad for Here Comes Trouble and a 1948 ad. These were found on the Harrison, Ohio Facebook page.
Uploaded an image of a page from the Steele (MO) Enterprise from November 19, 1931 on which an ad for the Ritz appeared. Steele is 11 miles from Blytheville.
Uploaded an image of a page from the Steele Enterprise from August 24, 1951 on which an ad for the Steele Theatre appears. Note: there is also an ad for a SEMO Theatre. Have to look into that.
I remember a co-worker of mine really wanted to see a specific movie and had no time to do so. So she would alter her lunch time and, after several days, see the whole film. The cashier got wind of this and didn’t charge her toward the end.
Uploaded an advertising flyer from the Spring of 1921. Incidentally an all “colored” version of the film Ten Nights in a Bar Room was also released in 1926.
I came upon an article by John Harvey in An Index to Early Entertainment in Jasper County, GA. Although he mentions films being shown at the turn of the century they were usually at the Courthouse, High School or in a tent. There was even a movie truck that came by.
He indicates that there was an open air theatre in the 1920s run by a Mr. Malone who then moved it to an existing building. I believe that the Castle was the name assigned to the new venue since, among the live performers were the Malone Sisters. Family.
The first talkie to play in Monticello was The Hollywood Review in 1929.
Pretty much the same as last time except that there were internal high hats lit in addition to the marquee in, what I presume, is going to be the hall approach to all the auditoriums. There is now a breach in the fence enclosing the site but with the paper on the windows there is nothing really to see when you’re close up. See you in August.
This has been in the works since 2016!!!!!Long Island has been losing theatres right and left. What are the odds that if and when they finally open it anyone will go? Theatres that were viable prior to the pandemic either closed on the spot or, when reopened, found no business. This has been off line for 6 years.
Uploaded an image of the Metro from 1916 which appeared in the June 2022 Peconic Bay Shopper. With all the bunting I am presuming this was the opening of the theatre. You will notice the name appears on the front of the building. Comparing it with the photo I uploaded previously from 1922 this was prior to the installation of a vertical.
Uploaded an image of the Plaza. It was across the street from the Cozy.
The bank has changed hands a number of times but it is listed as either 401 or 405. Therefore I believe the street number was set up incorrectly.

Apparently the stage is still visible.
Uploaded an image of a 1941 lobby card and a photo of Stock Talkies.
Uploaded a photo from July 4, 1926 where the word “Theatre” is visible.
I have uploaded two images of the Fremont. Notice the number of military personnel in the one.

Supplementing my February posting. Just saw something online where the receipt of metal sconces for the remodel was acknowledged.
The silent venue is not on Cinema Treasures.
Only eighteen on Cinema Treasures.
