This is a May 2008 photo.
All the way up to 1967 the Circle Theatre always included a newsreel on the program. Universal News were the last to be shown.
Note in the 1987 photo, when the Circle was a skin flick house, how carefully “parking in back” was worded. Perhaps some dumb patron would have mistaken “parkinng in rear” as a title for an X-rated film. On second thought, that probably was a real porno title.
Miss Melba Toast…your observation and comment has given me a belly laugh!
Don…
And I remember and miss the newsreels….wonder if they ever ran those in the skin flicks?

Here is another photo of the Circle Cinema.
Did the Rollier & Meta Theatre’s mentioned above as owned by old okie’s parents, ever get added to CT?
I couldn’t find either listed even in a previous names or city search. Just curious.

There are no theatres in Lamont on CT other than the Drive-In. Also I believe that this is a photo of the theatre that LM was tlaking about. The R is clearly on the front of the Marquee. This link lists the theatre as the Metro in Lamont. So is this or is it not the Meta Theatre that Okie is talking about? I am sure it is the one that LM is talking about.
