rivest, you uploaded a photo of the Paramount in Alexandria on CT. You may not be aware of it but the Saenger was next door to the left. You can barely see the marquee. So, since you have the photo, please upload it on this site, too.

The Saenger closed June 30, 1950 playing “The Hills of Oklahoma” and was sold to Schwartzberg’s Department Store on July 12, 1950 which modified the theatre to expand its retail operation.
