Built in 1907, since 1916 the building has housed the Strand Theater which had 500 seats.
Operated by Kallet Theatres in 1946, the facade was remodeled in an Art Moderne style by architect Michael J. DeAngelis, who added the black Carrara glass frontage. The plans also included enlarging the Strand Theater to seat 750, all on a single floor.

Lost Memory: This theatre has similar round circles as found in other DeAngelis designed theatres. On Feb. 25, 2008 you posted photos of the Warsaw Cinema designed by DeAngelis, but they can not be viewed and I’d love to see the art deco similiarities to my hometown theatre built by DeAngelis.
Those photo links are now located at the Institute for Non-Working Links. :)
This theatre is listed as having 3 screens so was it divided up and was originally a single screen theatre? I would say…yes!
My father managed this theatre for many years. Sorry to see that it has been divided into a three screen house. As I remember, it was always a single screen. Was owned by Kallet (sp). Then was sold to Cinemanational or United Artist, as I recall. Kallet (sp?) up to 1976
FLMurphy: Nice to read that your father managed this theatre for many years. I hope to see this theatre this summer and it’s not because it was divided up, but rather because the architect was Michael DeAngelis.
Boxoffice had some interior photos in November 1947:

ken mc: Thanks so very much for posting the Boxoffice interior photos of 1947 which are so similar to my hometown DeAngelis designed theatre. Should be interesting to see how this theatre was triplexed being that “tri” means three when I visit the theatre this Spring.
Here is a more recent photo:

When was this theatre triplexed?? It may be the only existing Michael DeAngelis designed theatre that has been divided with three screens!
Did it orignally have a balcony and who is this businessman who owns the Strand? Is he responsible for “carving up” the interior?
