The Comet Theater was home to movies and theatrical productions in the first third of the 20th century most notably Irving Berlin appearing in his “Yip-Yip Yaphank” in 1917.
The Comet Theater was part of the movie chain of William D. Eccleston for a number of years beginning May 1919.
The building’s remaining life was spent as retail; Wallen’s Supermarket closing in 2012. The former dressing rooms were still recognizable to the end.
The building is now (May 2014) boarded up awaiting it’s fate.

In the day South Country Road was called Main Street.
Uploaded a photo of an ad which appeared in the September 5, 1920 Paramount Week which indicated the Comet would be among the theatres participating in a special exhibiting event.
