The Novelty Theater was owned by my grandfather, Nathan Perer. I scanned an old photo and added it above.

I remember walking by this theater in the early 1960’s. It seemed pretty shabby and was charging 15 cents for admission.

Listed at 217 Federal in the 1955 Yellow pages, which would put it where the Marriott Spring Hill Suites are now. It looks like there’s a stadium around the corner-is that the Pirates' ballpark?
