50sSNIPES commented about Diamond Theatre on Jun 22, 2025 at 2:13 pm

The Diamond Theatre launched in late-1914 and closed around 1932. This has nothing to be confused with the Diamond Theatre in Hazleton, which operated around the same time.

This operated as early as before World War I. The Crystal Theatre however, did survive a flooding event in June 1916, which prompted hundreds to shelter inside the Crystal auditorium.

The Casino Theatre opened in 1968 as a seasonal family-oriented theater, running a mix of first and second-run films. Its format would later flip to just first-run films only. In its later years, films were shown four-to-five-days-a-week instead of the usual seven-days in the 1980s.
