Chuck 1231,there is a large ad in the Albany Herald,Jan.1 1975 on the Dream Adult Theatre,the address is what i have above; unless that one ad had a typo.
By August 1979 Broad Ave.Cinema was running different borders on their ads,so I assume someone took over ownership.Never could tell if it was ever twinned.Don’t think it was.They played A LOT of Double and Triple features.By the late 70’s no more ads in the Albany paper that I could find.
Thanks Cwalczak.I am sure they never thought seventy years later folks would even care,but it does drive you crazy trying to locate a town,when all they had to do was put the town below the theatre.
The Spencer theatre with the local Chamber of Commerce would sponsor Kid Shows on saturdays,like so many theatres would in that time.They Played the Disney movie “CASTAWAYS” Jan 1962 and raised Children ticket prices to fifty cents!Good Old Disney.Never give a parent a break.
“BECKET” was a major motion picture to play here.They ran a 2 pm matinee and an evening 8 pm show.This on Feb.6 1965.Today, another showing would have been squezzed in somehow.
Not bad features to open a Twin with.I have seen some horrible bookings to ring in a new theatre.Mainly mine booking.“NICKLEODEON”.
Thanks Cwalczak,so much.Why do they always have to change the name!
Even in 1980 “SONG OF THE SOUTH” is playing at the Martin Four in Albany.Dec.4 1980.Thought it was pulled from release way before the eighties!
Great Story,Guys.best of luck.
According to a local ad for the Viking 3,it also rented VHS tapes.
Also Chuck1231.the ad on the Theatre clearly has “DOWNTOWN”.Albany is not that large,so maybe Midtown and Downtown are the same.

I will double check the ad.Must be a new residential area?
Thanks,Chuck1231 another great ad.

There was also a BAKERSFIELD THEATRE playing silent movies in 1919.Pastime was playing on Nov.8 1919 the silent movie,“A DAUGHTER OF THE SUN”.
Any info on the BAKERSFIELD THEATRE running silent pictures in 1919?
Jan.1 1975 “SOUND OF MUSIC” returns with ADULT ticket prices set at $2.00 a seat.Three shows daily.
It also went by the name Corral Outdoor Theatre in the fifties and sixties.
