O.K. Chuck I knew they were still showing movies,looks like they are not advertising movies in print ads now.Just the live stuff.

tlsloews, I wasn’t questioning your source, it just sounded like you assumed they weren’t showing movies. That is why I looked at their website to check.

TLSLOEWS on July 16, 2011 at 2:08 pm

I know Chuck this info came from an ad in the Nashville Scene.Maybe I should have listed were my info came from.

Chuck1231 on July 15, 2011 at 9:23 pm

thanks Will,A lot of times I will try and see what is on the one-sheets while I guess most look just at the Theatre.

Mike: I think it says “Ford.” I know it sounds odd that cars might be on display at a movie theatre, but I know for sure that cars were occassionally displayed on the stage of Knoxville’s Bijou. It’s a thought anyway.

Driving me crazy to figure out what"new 49" banner was plugging.Great picture,tis and Nick.

TLSLOEWS on April 24, 2011 at 10:45 am

Thanks Nick,their new marquee looks like the one in the above photo.

Thanks tlsloews for providing this photo. Here’s a nice shot dated 1949 showing entrance and marquee. Judging by the number of kids in line this looks like a Saturday matinee!

Heard on the news last night that this theatre is to reopen June 3rd.Running “Gone With The Wind.They also called it the Franklin Theatre instead of Cinema.Looks like its going back to its former name.
