The Eighteenth Street Theater is listed in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook. This theater and the Lyric Theater were the two main theaters in this neighborhood. Presumably both succumbed to the advent of TV.
The Eighteenth Street Theater closed in 1961, and is now used as a storage warehouse.

So many theatres “succumbed to the advent of TV”.
The year given for this photo is 1983.
Have any theater groups in Erie ever thought of restoring this theater to show old cartoons and newsreels? I have no idea what it would take to do this but I think it would be better than using it for storage. I suppose one has to be contented with the fact that it is used for something and hasn’t been torn down.
