The Shirley Theater opened in 1925 and it operated through to 1950 and beyond…
It is currently being used as a church by the Covington Taberbnacle Church, but is recognizable as a former theater. Parts of the original doorways, ticket window and facade are still visible, but the marquee has been replaced by an awning.

………….and don’t call me Shirley!
I’ve got pictures posted on Flickr, but I haven’t had a chance to link them here yet.
I saw some of the photos on Flickr and I had a feeling that they belonged to you. Nice photos.
Thanks. I bought my Dad a book called “The Balcony Is Closed”. It’s a history of neighborhood movie theaters in Northern Kentucky written by Robert D. Webster and published by the Kenton County Historical Society. I peeked at the book when it came, then went out with my GPS this past Sunday for a mini-tour. Several of the theatres I’d passed many times over the years without even suspecting what was in their past.
