The MANOR THEATRE opened on December 4,1941 with the main attraction “Three Cocketed Sailors”.
Closed in 1985 under Piedmont Theatres.
This theatre got a lot of Disney product too.
Basically a lot of Disney re-releases played here.

Boy,Chuck 1231 that American Classic photo makes it look like a Dry cleaning store.What horrible facelift.I notice a “FOR YOUR EYES ONLY” one sheet on the front of the Manor.
Pat, I like your photo much better than the American Classic photo.

Visited Wilmington last spring (2008). It looked like The Manor was still there. “Hill’s Wilmington (New Hanover County, NC) City Directory 1958” shows The Manor at 208 Market St. The business at 208 Market Street in 2008 was “The Rox” – some sort of entertainment venue. The facade looks different but it appears to be the same building that housed The Manor.
Also, The Manor would have been one of four downtown movie houses in 1958 per that city directory with the other three being The Bailey, The Colony and The Ritz (810 N. 4th St).
Once operated by the Stewart & Everett Theatre chain.
