The El Dorado Theater dates back to the 1920’s, and operated beyond 1950. The building is now home to a cafe.

This theater was recently featured on the “American Picers” show on the History Channel.
There were quite a few shots of the interior, showing the stage and the balcony still in place. The owner is divesting himself of a lot of the artifacts that are inside.
Sorry for the typo. That’s “American Pickers.”
I was told the PICKERS were in Swainsboro,Georgia at the old Drive-in there.I missed that show. Hi-Way 56 Drive-in on CT.
I just saw the “American Pickers” episode as well. I hope when the current owners vacate, that it can be saved or put back to use as a theater.
It appeared that it hadn’t been altered that much. Just a lot of antiques spread throuhout. Even in the balcony. Kudos to the current owners for keeping it as is.
From 2010 a close up photo image of the El Dorado sign & marquee along with a view if the El Dorado Building.
I just the Pickers episode, but didn’t see the balcony and stage areas though did see a glimpse of the marquee at the end of the show. I agree with David Zornig….hope when the current owners vacate, that it can put back to use as a theater.
A new Roxy is reported in this 1940 trade journal, but doesn’t seem to be listed at CT: Boxoffice
