The ‘Pastime Theatre", according to my father (born 1907 – passed away 9 years ago) was on the 2nd floor of the building across the street from the 'Opera House’. That building is still there today. It is the white 2 story in the street view, to the far left of what once was the bank.
He used to go there as a young boy (and to the “Opera House') to watch movies.
The ‘Tremont Theater’ was located on the south westerly corner of Main & Tremont Sts., a good ¼ mile South of this location.
According to mapquest, Tremont is just down the road from the Opera House, a few blocks away. It is another theater that I’ll post on here, at 396 Main Street and it’s now demolished.
I can’t find a Pastime Theatre listed for Ansonia in my Film Daily Year Books, but there is a 600-seat Tremont Theatre. Could they be the same? Unfortunately, no specific addresses are given.
This property no longer exists. It sat almost across from the Capitol Theatre. There is a bank to the right of it and a building behind what was the theatre so it must have been a very small neighborhood theatre with only maybe 100-200 seats. You can see what shape the property was.
