Dreamland

A 1954 Binghamton Press article about nickelodeons reproduces an advertisement in the Stone Opera House program for the grand opening on March 28, 1910 of “Dreamland South Side Nickolet” at “10 DeRussey Street”, now South Washington Street. The Press article puckishly added that its warranty of “one hour and 30 minutes in dreamland” was “probably the last time movies have been described accurately”.

No further record of the theater appears to exist, so it was probably a short-lived enterprise. The site is now a gas station.

Curiously, in 1926 someone attempted to start a “Dreamland Theater” at 159 Clinton Street, which is next door to (and probably in the same building as) the 1912-1915 Clinton Theater. This apparently never happened, and the building (assuming it is the same one) became a funeral parlor shortly thereafter.
