The Himmler Theater is currently beginning a restoration project by a local group (Nov ‘07).
I wonder if the town had any problems with its name during WW II.
I’m surprised that Bobs is surprised! Luzerene County PA seems to have been a fertile ground for theaters, with almost every little boro having one or more at one time. From what I read, I counted at least 42 indoor theaters having existed in the county in the ‘40’s. Incidentally, I knew of a town in Ill. that never had more than 1,000 people and had 2 theaters: Augusta (the Cozy and the Lee), and knew of several others in Ill. of under 1,000 that had theaters (Chandlerville, Kansas & Maquon to name just 3)!
I was able to take a few pictures of the building that once housed the theater. No one was working so I was unable to see what, if anything, remains inside. This is a very small town, surprising a theater was ever built there!

The Dodge dealer is located at 50 Lake St so the address for this theater should be close to that number.
