I attended the Falls Theater from ‘83-'91 for screenings of Rocky Horror. Ah, the good old days. I wish you the best of luck, hifiman!

When it finally closed it shut down as The Falls Theater. I don’t think Lowe’s New Falls Theater ever took as the name. All the local’s that remember still call it The Falls Theater.

Thank you… If all goes well i should be ready to open later this year or early next year!

“The Falls Theater”: Good luck on your negotiations. I wish you well on your project.

I have started the negotiation process with the city and some investors.. My plan is to renovate and reopen her with a nice restaurant inside(dinner and a movie). My inspiration for this comes from The Commodore Theater in Portsmouth Va. I will post my progress.

I have posted a scan of the display ad for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. The name of the theatre is the LOEW’S NEW FALLS.

Now, the name of this theatre can be changed.

If you have a photo that shows the word “New” on the theater marquee or somewhere on the building, the word “New” could then be added to the name above.

I did some newspaper research on this theatre some years ago. The newspaper ads definitely said NEW FALLS.

I don’t believe that “New” was part of the theater name. The 1962 photo that you linked to doesn’t show the word “New” as part of the name. The marquee in the photo reads “Falls”.

This may have been called the New Falls Theater in 1962, when the Cinerama conversion took place. This is from Boxoffice magazine at that time:

The New Falls Theater, recreated and renewed by Louis Horwitz and Sanford Leavitt of the Washington circuit, got underway most successfully with Cinerama. With a screen from floor to ceiling-and renewed from wall to wall-the New Falls is the only house now in northeastern Ohio showing Cinerama. The Palace is expected to return to Cinerama early in July.

The New Falls has not only been received as a new theater should be-usually packed from wall to wall-but it’s the first of the 100 Cinerama Theaters to show the wraparound screen and one single projection booth.
