Someone got it wrong. It absolutely was open for about a decade after that supposed closing date. I attended movies there, and I couldn’t have if it had closed in 1953.

The Sherwood didn’t close in 1951. I’m certain I attended movies there in the late ‘50s or early '60s. Sometime after that it closed and was torn down. What was remarkable after it was gone was how small the lot was — a little triangle of land that once hosted movie magic.
