This theater is also listed as The Movie House, as well as the Cinema Circle. Now I have no idea what it’s called, especially with the photo that Lost Memory submitted above of the nameless Circleville theater.
This is or was the Circle Cinema. The building in this photo is the same building as the one in the link above. The marquee reads Circle Cinema. Maybe its name was changed to “The Movie House”, because a Google search returns a Movie House at this address. Look at the movies playing. I think this theater is a twin.
Make that three screens.

Boy I would sure like to see how they divided that into 3 as small and straight as the building is.
I just visited this theater while attending the famous Circleville Pumpkin Festival. What a cool find!
I stopped in to ask some questions, and the owner ended up giving us a tour of the projection room. The theater was built in the 1920’s with two screens. The building is in great shape, with new carpet and brand-new modern seats.
In addition, they’ve transformed the storage room in the back into what they’ve titled the “Screening Room”: a more modern smaller- screened theater space with a full bar capable of showing conventional films, dvds, and television. When I visited, the owners were letting people in for free to watch the Ohio State University football game.

According to their web site the theatre is called The Movie House.
The theatre should be listed as a tiwn, there is the Screening Room in the rear of the theatre with the entrance up the alley which seems to be a seperate theatre as described by rotorueter on 10/24/09.
There was a Circle Theatre located at 106 W. Main St. seating 275 that started as a silent movie theatre and was in operation until the early-1950’s. Anyone have further information on the Circle Theatre that they could add it to CT. It is not listed on CT.
Circleville also had two drive-Ins, the North Auto Theatre and the Starlite Drive-In that are not listed on CT, anyone with enough info should add them.
