Just posted a photo of what appears to be the Wiltern mocked up as the Brooklyn Paramount.
Possibly for the Alan Freed film.
Since I don’t see Paramount as any previous names for the Wiltern.
Came across a Metro Nashville Archives photo that has a Midtown Theatre (XXX) in the space where the Singer store is in the Overview photo.
Does it have a CT page under another name, or does one need to be added for it?
Just read that some of the Granada facade ornamentation now adorns the entrance to the Sanfilippo Foundation estate in Barrington Illinois.
Seen in the cover photo of their website below.
The drive-thru bank on the Oak Theatre site is now permanently closed.
Likely the victim of the 5/3rd Bank takeover of MB, who consolidated former MB locations and closed others completely.
Yes that is it.
Thanks.
It was on Center Avenue.
No exact address yet, but I will set up a page for it.
Found your above photo in a non Flickr link too.
So I can use that as the Overview photo with a link to it’s source.
Since my pic is just the marquee off to the side.
The film showing in dallasmovietheaters June 18, 2016 photo is “The Right To Happiness”.
Which may or may not be a re-release of a 1915 film.
Broan however confirms the photo is from November 29, 1919 Motion Picture News.
I agree.
The Admins should have just removed the racier photos, and left her comment as it applied to the history of the Oak.
I hope they change their mind and return it to the comments.
Solid Rock Cafe was the most recent tenant, closed sometime after 2017 via Yelp.
If you search American Hot Wax filming locations a link will come up with more photos. CT is mistakenly recognizing the link as spam so it won’t post.

I came across a circa 1960 photo of an Allison Theatre in Huntsville, but can’t find any record of it’s existence.
