I have a post card of this photo I obtained in the late ‘60’s. One movie on the marquee is the 1959 film “The Blue Angel” starring the blond beauty may Britt , once married to Sammy Davis Jr. Like a ring with it’s gem stone sparkling, the brightly lit marquees that once dotted our downtowns are becoming scarce to find. Massena was a bustling village in the midst of the Seaway and power project at the time of this photo. Ray. CharlotteNC. (formerly Winthrop, NY)
The year given for this photo is 1982.
There are several views of the theater on this site:

This was a Schine house. In 1962 at the age of 14 I visited Massena with my parents. We stayed at the new Schine Inn just down the street. My dad took my brother and me to the Massena to see “the Road to Hong Kong” with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. I don’t remember much about the theatre except that the film broke. The cartoon was “Young Daniel Boone” a 20th Century Fox CinemaScope cartoon.
