Here is an April 1930 item from the Massillon Evening Independent:
Maurice Chevalier, who has become the greatest European actor to achieve success in American films since Emil Jannings, will be seen and heard in his most gorgeous picture to date when “The Love Parade” opens at the Lincoln Theater for a 3-day run beginning on Sunday.
“The Love Parade” is something different in all-talking musical film productions, just as Chevalier is a personage entirely different from all other screen types. In the first place “The Love Parade” ‘was written for the audible screen. It is not a film version of any previous stage production, it was created expressly for the screen and with the idea of the screen’s values for amusement uppermost in the minds of the geniuses who created it.
I’ll try to remember that. I also won’t post any “Booth” photos for this theater. LOL
Not nice to use Shot and Lincoln in the same sentence! :)
This is a nice shot of the Lincoln Theater.

Here is an evening photo. I think it’s from 2004.
27 degrees? Forget it.
Lost Memory: Very nice photo with the marquee and building facade…like the word Lincoln on the building with bulbs. Would be nice to see an evening photo!
This is a recent photo of the Lincoln Theater.
I’ve had the pleasure of hearing Ben accompany a silent film in Hamilton NY at the darling little Hamilton Theater. (Yes, a former Schine Theater… so i might be a bit biased.) Ben is a supurb accompaniest and also gives the audience an introduction that gives a good overview to the new comers yet does not bore the well-versed. BRAVO, Ben!
Every year on the last weekend in Sept the theater hosts the "Fall Cinesation", a cinephile convention during which classic films from the ‘10s, '20s, '30s and '40s are screened. In most cases these are newly restored archival prints from LOC and Eastman House, and the silents have live accompaniment.
Lost Memory: Yes, “SchineHistorian” is a Schine-ing example for the rest of us! Great play on words!
That sounds like a great idea. Don’t send the check until they make the correction. You are a Schine-ing example for the rest of us. :)
Yes i did notice that LM, so i sent their webmaster a note offering a donation to their restoration fund in exchange for a correction!
: )
SchineHistorian….The incorrect spelling of Schine comes from the history page of this theaters own website. Here is the link. Check their spelling. Since its their theater, I figured that they could spell Schine anyway they wanted to. :)
From the photos provided this theatre looks to be kept in fine condition thanks to the Lions Club.
Hey Lost Memory! Don’t forget the C in SCHINE!! : )
This is a photo of the Lincoln Theater and here is another view.
The previous post is worded incorrectly so will clarify by posting the following quote taken from Lions Lincoln Theatre website….“The Schine Brothers took over the theatre in 1927 and installed a Style EX Opus 1560 Wurlitzer Theatre Pipe Organ. In 1931,the theatre management changed to the Warner Brothers and the Wurlitzer theatre organ was removed in 1938.”
A shame to read that the theatre that the Schine Brothers purchased for this theate was sold in the 80’s.
The Lincoln Theater opened on November 23, 1915. Built by John McLain and designed by architect Guy Tilden. The Shine Bros. took over the theater in 1927 and Warner Brothers took over in 1931. This theater is known today as the Lions Lincoln Theater. Their website is here:
