This neighborhood theatre opened in the 1920’s and closed in the mid-1960’s. A carpeting business occupies this theatre now.
I remember as a child, seeing the marquee of the Garfield advertising ‘Polish Pictures’. I remember asking my mother, what are Polish Pictures, pronouncing ‘Polish’ like how it’s pronounced for shoe polish or furniture polish, instead of someone from Poland. My mother laughed.

When I visited the Garfield Theatre booth in the 60s I found two Motiograph AA projectors and a Motiograph Sound System. I can’t remember the lamps.
The manager told me he had replaced his Super Simplex machines and was disappointed at no improvement in quality.
I remember that the first dozen or so rows had hard bottomed seats. Very uncomfortable.
This theater is being targeted for demolition by the City of Garfield Heights. Details here:
