The Flint Art Theatre opened as the Flint Theatre in 1939 with seating listed at 522. This was a small neighborhood theatre on Saginaw Road at Tiden Street. It was independently owned and operated from what I found.
The Flint Theatre closed in 1953 and has since been used by Classic Charter and Tours. Any further information on this theatre would be appreciated.

The address needs to be corrected to 3814 S. Saginaw.
The adddress given in the header maps to the former theatre.
I tried the S. Saginaw Rd. and it does not map to the theatre.
The former theater is on North Saginaw. I believe a tire shop was once located in the converted theater in the 1960s.
I think it should be Saginaw Street not road. It was an Art House theater that exhibited foreign films. They also had recent news reel clips. I remember seeing the Atomic Bomb explosion, that shocked the world. I used to go there quite often. Other than the Garden, it was the only theater showing foreign films. I am glad it is now remembered.
Too bad there isn’t a photo showing what the front used to look like. I remember seeing “THE RED SHOES” there. I don’t remember the interior at all nor what the concession stand looked like. I just faintly remember the theater and for years could never remember the name.
My dad worked at a gas station nearby.
