A rather basic and boxy one screen movie theatre with a canopy marquee. The Pastime was renovated along with two other shops to become the city of Concord’s utility payment/connection office.

Hey Thomasina, I show that there was a Pastime theatre on Main Street, is this one in the same? Or do I have an incorrect address? Also do you have anything on the State theatre at 3 South Union, that would have been across and down the street from your listing on the Pastime.
I too have the Pastime Theatre listed as being on Main Street. The Film Daily Yearbook, 1941 gives a seating capacity of 300. In the 1950 edition of FDY seating is given as 350.
Charles;
I can confirm from my FDYearbooks that the State Theatre is listed at 3 South Union St and it had a seating capacity of 700.
Concord had four Theatres.Pastime,the State,the Paramount and the Cabarrus.The Pastime was Concord’s leading showcase for first run action pictures such as “HOLT OF THE SECRET SERVICE”,“CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT” and “THE PERILS OF THE ROYAL MOUNTED”.The picture i have of the Pastime theatre shows a theatre with no marquee.All this from the late William C.Cline’s book “STOKE OF FORTUNE” the adventures of a motion picture showman.Wish he would have lived to see Cinema Treasures. I met Mr.Cline a very fine man.
“STROKE OF FORTUNE” keep leaving that"R" out.
