This theatre was at one time owned by Jerry Steel, whose family continued to operate the Apollo Theatre in Oberlin, Ohio until just this February (2009), when it was gobbled up by Oberlin College:

1980 photo of the Miami Theatre. I don’t know the time line on the Miami Theatre but it looks much newer than the Princess 4 Theatre.

I was in college there in the 60’s and uI remember seeing MARNIE, THE PINK PANTHER, BONNIE AND CLYDE,etc. The original neon marquee and signage was beautiful. The new makeover looks like junk.

I love the b/w photos that “ken mc” posted on Feb. 12, 2006. Such a shame the Miami Western isn’t still a theatre in that Ohio college town.

“The Miami Western Theater operated from 1938 to 1988. In 1993, it became a bar and restaurant called First Run. The last known use for this building was an establishment called the Brick Street Bar”. As far as I know, the building still stands.

I would love to know more about this theatre. It’s listed as closed, but sometimes that information is incorrect and the theatre is actually demolished…hope that is not the case as Oxford is the home of Miami University of Ohio and every small college town should have a downtown theatre, imo.

Here are two photos, from 1940 and 1960, respectively:
