This is a July 1946 program calendar for the Blatt Bros. Governor Theatre.
I was recently in Somerset PA and was told by a local attorney that I met in the county courthouse that there was a theatre, but it had been torn down 20 years ago.
Lost: In fact, the July 1946 program calendar was my birth month and year!
Thats why I posted it. Save the calendar as a souvenir. LOL
Lost: Ah, you remembered…how sweet and I shall save the calendar by printing it out.
Lost: And at one time the Blatt Bros. owned and operated my hometown theatre, the Grand in Westfield NY.
Lost: And I should have located the address of this former theatre at 10 E. Main just to see what is there now….probably another parking lot. I wonder why under Status it gives “closed” and I was told of it being demolished…20 years ago? And if the 945 seats is correct it was larger than most small to medium populated towns.
Patsy….The address might have come from a Film Daily Yearbook. It could be the wrong address since Google will not map 10 E. Main Street. We need someone in Somerset to investigate this one.
I wish I had the name of that nice attorney whom I met while at the courthouse (Somerset is the county seat), but I didn’t get it nor his business card as I figured I wouldn’t need it…until now! Somerset is along the PA Turnpike and is a fairly large community so when I asked if the town had a theatre and was told they didn’t I was shocked and saddened. They do have a lovely inn by the name of Georgian Inn which was onced owned by a Mr. Zimmerman.
