As you know there are 25 theatres listed for Pittsburgh. One of them is the Warner which according to CT is closed. I wish you luck as many CT members will certainly be able to help you.
dyban: If you could post some bright sunshine photos of the Warner exterior with doors and marquee, that would be wonderful! I just printed out one of the evening shots and plan to give it to Cass Warner, granddaughter of Harry M. Warner. There is a possibility that she will get to see the Warner in Erie during her stay as she will be in New Castle PA this Friday for a book signing (Hollywood Be Thy Name) and other events listed on the Harry M. Warner Silent Film Festival website http://academics.sru.edu/warner/index.htm
As I scrolled down to read the latest post on this theatre I feared what I would read. So very very sad and so today’s youth will continue to go to the malls and multiplexes of their generation.
Schine KCN: Thanks for answering my Schine questions on CT and as a new member, welcome aboard! One of the theatres that still says Schine today may be the Palace Theatre in Lockport NY?
Schine KCN: Thanks for the correction of the thought-to-be stained glass window. BTW, do you know Karen Noonan, president of THSA who resides in Geneva NY? She is a SCHINE expert and has helped me alot with my personal theatre research. At the moment we are involved in communication with Cass Warner, granddaughter of Harry Warner. If interested go to http://academics.sru.edu/warner/index.htm as this address will take you to the Harry M. Warner Film Institute which gives information about the upcoming Silent Film Festival (first silent film theatre was in the New Castle PA). Ms. Warner will be at the festival to sign copies of her book, Hollywood Be Thy Name on April 21st at the Scottish Rite Cathedral.
David L. Williamson: You wrote on 8/20/04….“Last year I was in Green Bay, downtown and saw that they have restored a beautiful theater built in 1929. They have kept and preserved many of their old downtown buildings.” Do you have exterior/interior photos of the theatre in Green Bay? And what is the name of that theatre?
I’ve been comparing photos between the above photo and the one seen in an issue of Marquee magazine. The vertical Warner sign is long gone after the name change to Grand Theater. “Mo one can figure out how to make a sure long term profit when the city has said that it will NOT come to the financial rescue of the property.” These are sad words from an 8/29/05 post. The interior photos as seen in Marquee show it to be very opulent and worth coming to a financial rescue!
Very interesting to see and read about the China White bar in the back of this theatre! I’ve never seen this idea…can’t imagine how one would hear the movie with a loud bar, too.
I just went through the list of theatres that were or are still in Akron and it numbered 23! That is quite a remarkable number of theatres, on record, for one community!
Not much known about this theatre as it reads mostly…unknown, unknown, unknown. Can anyone provide a photo of this theatre in Dean’s hometown. It would be great to see it restored and a Martin theme lobby. I have read that Martin’s daughter, Deana visits the town during the DM Festival so I would think she would look into this venture or get the community involved in looking at this theatre IF it still is standing which is a big question. A restored theatre could feature Martin films, etc.
The State Theatre is a very interesting architectural combination and should be seen to be appreciated. The theatre has its original organ though as yet to be restored. Thanks to Don Welch, head usher I was given a full tour from the projection room to the basement!
Lost Memory: Thanks for the photo site. I have been to this theatre and in June the Hollywood Happening with the HD crowd really fills up the town to support this theatre!

A great photo of a great original art deco marquee in NC!

Schine KCN: Can you answer the vertical GENEVA sign question that I posted on 2/2/06
TC: Do you have any photos of the auditorium?

splicer: Nice to read your description of this theatre in Alaska so I hope that it can be saved and not go the way of many others in the lower 48!
I would love to see photos of this Warner!

Another parking lot another bank! Oh my ‘good'ness, but it’s not for the good of Asheville!
Lost Memory: Can you help?
Lost Memory: Can you provide an old photo of this former theatre, present day Senior Citizen Center? It interests me because of the name…Shea’s.

Interesting to read about this theatre and the Highland Theatre, but more interesting to see 23 theatres listed in Akron over the years!

The Related Websites link shows a wonderful b/w photo of this theatre. I wonder if it still stands as the status says closed and not demolished?

Would love to see a photo of the Strand that once stood in Ithaca.
