1909 photo & description added courtesy of Brian Morton and Vintage Hamilton Facebook page.
“Earliest shot (from 1909) I have ever seen of the Colonial (aka The Wonderland) cinema that eventually became the Tivoli. (The line up at the Grand Opera House was for a stage production of BEN HUR). The Princess Theatre opened in the same space in 1911 when a small auditorium was added to the back, and the Tivoli was added on the back of that building in in 1924. What is left of the Princess Theatre will be demolished as part of the current plans for the Tivoli condo project.”
Joe Vogel, maybe you can find an address for a theatre in Sidney Iowa, possibly called “The Strand”. Apears to have been in operation in the 40s-60 possibly.
I found a photo of it from a distance on that county’s Facebook page.
If you find any info maybe add a page for it or I can.
Yes, and while confirming it I ran across this fascinating 2012 Poseidon Blue-Ray link.
