In 1963 this was a Stanley Warner theater, apparently booked as an art house similar to the Lane Theatre in Philadelphia. At the end of the 1960’s it was still an art house but was under different ownership and was booked day-and-date with the Bala Theatre in Bala-Cynwyd and the Castor Theatre in Philadelphia.
