Anyone in the Carlisle PA area should see this film.
I just rec’d a THSA (Theatre Historical Society of America) email telling me that this theatre will premiere a short story movie entitled Palace on May 5th.
Does anybody know anything about a theater, probably a nickelodeon, that was on W. High Street (near the corner of North Pitt)? It was almost straight across the street from the current Carlisle Theatre. The Google street view shows that the portion of this building has been demolished. This theater was in the far easterly portion of the Bolen Building. The Bolen Building is at the corner of W. High & N. Pitt. The first three sections of the building are still standing. The next two sections, (the last/easterly housed the theatre) have been demolished. I have a postcard showing this typical nickelodeon-styled facade. There are also photographs of the Bolen Building showing this facade on the Cumberland County Historical Society website: www.historicalsociety.com. It certainly looks like a nickelodeon or theater. One photo caption dates the photo as 1936. I doubt if this facade lasted into the 1930’s, but research will tell. There are also two photos of the Carlisle Theatre, as well.
Here is an updated link to the article by Helen Kent about the Comerford Theatre, in Boxoffice of August 19, 1939.

If you have interest in cars especially Corvettes you might want to make a trip to Carlisle PA on May 6th for the premier of The Quest. Information can be found at the above site.

This will please Patsy. The Comerford/Carlisle Theatre was designed by architect Michael J. DeAngelis, and was the subject of this article by Helen Kent in Boxoffice of August 19, 1939. There are five photos.

ken mc: The renovation article posted on October 27, 2007 doesn’t seem to be available and I wanted to read it prior to my visit.
And the tour guide did not know about CT…she does now! LOL!
Uhhhh…..your welcome. LOL
Have fun on your tour!
Photobucket account sounds like a good plan though you will have to help me with it. Thanks…..in advance!

Patsy….You should take along a camera. Maybe we can setup a Photobucket account for you to store the photos in. ;)
Lost: I’ll be in the Carlisle PA area next week and hope to tour the Carlisle Theatre along with the Hershey Theatre…will post here upon my return.
The Carlisle Theater website has a few old photos.
Lost Memory: Would also like to see some vintage interior photos. As you know, I have sent the Carlisle Theatre box office an email in regards to website interior photos and the “front doors” inquiry.
