The Edgemoor Theater opened in the early 1940’s. In the early 1960’s the operator was Brandt Theaters. In the early 1980’s it became a Church for All People. It was demolished in early 1987, to build a freeway interchange.

Can anyone give me info on the Cinemart on Gov Prinz? I can’t find any info anywhere, but, I stop to look at it every time I’m in the area. What a mystery. The only thing I can tell is that I was built in the 60’s due to the chandelier and font on the front sign.
“zombie” played here in or around September of 1980!
This is where my mom took me and my cousin to see JAWS in the summer of ‘75 when i was 10 yrs. old. I don’t remember much about the theater other than it was a matinee, crowded and had very soft comfortable seats.
My next door nighbors operated the Edge Moor Theater, They also owned and operated the Spring Lake Recreation center in Glenn Mills PA. I lost track of the Family, but thier name was Cadone (sp) I still live in Wilmington, DE. JL
