Theatre

This theatre appears on the 1918 map, in one of a row of stores that once stood on this block. The building may have been a remodel of a one story furniture warehouse that appears on the 1913 map.

At some point long ago, the building was demolished, and this is now a parking lot.

The 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists two theaters at Paris, called the Grand and the Joie, but provides no details about either. I’ve been unable to find either of them mentioned in the trade journals of the period. Odds seem pretty good that this building housed one or the other of them.

Of course there would be choices! Oh, well… Thanks for the information.

Correction: I was looking at the wrong page when I wrote that comment. The Grand and Joie were listed in the 1926 FDY. The two listed in the 1914 AMPD were the Lyric and the Pathé. That sort of doubles the choices, and a French theater name in a town called Paris isn’t likely to make the search easier.
