The Lenox was around the corner from my grandmother’s house, and my sister and I saw quite a few kiddie matinees there, often of the 50s sci-fi variety, e.g., “The Fly,” “The Blob,” “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” etc.

Acme Markets, which had a store next door to the Lenox, expanded into the theatre’s space shortly after it closed.

A Marr & Colton organ was installed in the Lenox Theater in 1926.
