The Hollywood Theatre was open by the mid-1930’s. Seating was listed at 595. One of many downtown houses in Winston-Salem. The theatre was operated by Blumenthal Theatres and later by B&B Theatres.
The Hollywood Theatre closed in the mid-1970’s. Any further information on the Hollywood Theatre would be appreciated.

If there was a Hollywood Theatre in the 500 block of Liberty Street, it couldn’t have had that name between 1934 and 1948, when there was a Hollywood Theatre in the 400 block of the same street.
Information accompanying this photo from the 1910s says that this house opened in 1912 as the Elmont Theatre, and was later known as the Ideal Theatre before becoming the Hollywood Theatre. It gives the address as 411 N. Liberty Street, and says that it burned in 1948.
Information with this photo showing the tile at the entrance, all that survived after demolition, says the house had become the Ideal in 1927 and the Hollywood in 1934.
Here is a 1940s photo (1946 movie on marquee) showing the Hollywood at right and the Colonial Theatre farther along the block.
I’ve been unable to find any references on the Internet to a theater in the 500 block of N. Liberty Street.
