This is an amazing photograph – not just for the shot itself but the subject matter. Those doors once led to the darkness of the auditorium where one came in to escape the harsh realities of the world outside, and now… A pretty remarkable image. And the lighting fixture on the left looks like the animated character Lumiere from Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast!”

Beautiful façade (Photo One, Photo Two and wonder if any photos of the interior exist. It must have been very spacious considering the size of the building and the seating capacity of only 850.

Pity a proud city can’t save this theatre.

Zooming in on the map view in the title shows the roof is literally collapsed into the auditorium. It’s a goner now for sure….

Went there in the late 50’s to see the first 3d movie Bwana Devil. Glasses were cardboard and cellophane. Spears poked toward the audience.

The comment above by Jim Rankin made me think about the knowledge that he brought to CT. I came across a folder of things that he sent me prior to his passing. He really knew the theatres. I am sure everyone misses him that was familiar with his knowledge.

I was wondering if anyone had photos of the exterior and interior of the Mayfair from the days it was known as the Auditorium that they would be willing to share. Thanks

www.urbanatrophy.com has done an excellent job photographing the Mayfair as it sits today in Sept. 2006. See dozens of photos of what the old theatre looks like now inside and out. Check out the site to see the photos.
