The Pauline Theatre opened in 1932 and seated 783. One of the many neighborhood houses to serve the northern part of the city. Nothing elaborate about the theatre, a single floor building located on the corner. It had a corner box office and a small lobby with two ailes leading into the auditorium. The Pauline lasted until the television wave came and the theatre closed in 1956. It later became a neighborhood grocery store.

The building is still there but I can’t make out what type of buisness it is. Yet still you tell it was a theatre in its days.
