Grand opening ad from April 22, 1942 with “Blues in the Nite” in photos. The Holly Theatre was housed in the former American Legion building. R.J. Jones bought the hall, converting it to the Holly Theatre and ran it from 1942 to November of 1995. Jones had hoped to find a new operator quickly but that didn’t happen.

http://www.cinematour.com/picview.php?db=us&id=85251 I just found a picture of what it used to look like. I currently live there and am trying to find out more information about it. But it is hard to find pictures or any information.

Holly Theatre was open circa 1992-93. At that time there was a sizable stage under the screen, which was perfect for the “Rocky Horror” cast that performed there. (The shows usually sold out, despite the theatre’s rather remote location and the movie’s availability on video.)

This theatre is no longer in operation. At last word it has been converted into an apartment building known as the Center Stage Apartments.

This theatre is no longer in operation and has been transformed into an apartment building called Center Stage Apartments. This little theatre had a bit of a notorious reputation in the early 1970s when it was called the “Holly Art Theatre” and showed XXX porn. The owner, an old guy with a craggy voice and some kind of New Yorky accent used to do radio commercials for it on one of the Carlisle stations. They were hysterical. I’ll never forget the one for one particular feature. It went something like this: “Now showing at da Holly Aht Theatre. "Thar She Blows.” The story of men and women who go down to the sea in ships.“ Priceless.
