The Fountain Hill Opera House opened its doors by manager E.L. Newhard on September 26, 1888 with a live presentation of “Martiana” by the New American Opera Company. A total of 100 residents (with a majority of them from Allentown) attended the opening ceremony. It was renamed the Globe Theatre following major remodeling, and reopened by the A.R. Boyd Amusement Company on August 22, 1930 with Frederic March in “Manslaughter” (unknown if extras added).
The actual closing date is March 24, 2000. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was one of its last films played, but I cannot find the remaining final films being played.
The Frontier Drive-In last operated with three screens, with the third screen being short-lived. It was closed on October 17, 1985 with the following in screen order: “Invasion USA” and “Day Of The Dead” in Screen 1, “Back To The Future” and “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure” in Screen 2, and “Remo Williams” and “Mean Season” in Screen 3.
This actually first opened as a 500-seat twin on August 10, 1984 with “Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom” in Screen 1 and “Gremlins” in Screen 2. It started life under the name “Corydon Twin Cinemas”. Both auditoriums were divided in half and became a quad in 1989. At the same time, the name was shorten to just Corydon Cinemas.
