The Arion Theatre was one of Burlington’s early theatres. It was located on N. Main Street at Valley Street. It operated into at least the early-1950’s, but is now long gone, closed and demolished. Any further info on the Arion Theatre would be appreciated.

The November 23, 1946, issue of Boxoffice said that the Arion Theatre had recently reopened after a major remodeling. The auditorium had been expanded to accommodate 500 seats. The previous seating capacity was not mentioned.
