The Greenwood Theatre was first operated by Manning and Wink Enterprises. The architectural firm Daniell & Beutell was also responsible for the design on the Madison and Buckhead Theatre’s in nearby Atlanta. GA.
The theatre originally housed a small Robert-Morton 2Manual/4Rank pipe organ which was used briefly in the early days of the theatre to accompany silent films.

Listed in editions of Film Daily Yearbook; 1941, 1943 and 1950 as the Central Theatre, Central Avenue(the only theatre in Pearl River) with a seating capacity varying from 550 in the 1940’s to 644 in 1950. Could the Central Theatre be the Granada/Pearl River Theatre?
As a matter of interest, the American Motion Picture Directory 1914-1915 lists a Carnival Theatre in Pearl River (no address given).
The only theatre for Livingston, TN. listed in Film Daily Yearbook’s between 1941 and 1950 is the 325 seat Ritz Theatre. Is the Classic Theatre the same building?
MagicLantern;No address for the Claremont Theatre, just the name.
Incidently, there is an address given in the 1950 & 1952 editions of F.D.Y. for the Village Theatre, W. 3rd Street & Harvard Avenue. Obviously W 3rd Street has been re-named W. Bonita Avenue since then.
The Avalon Theatre screens the latest movies. Programmes change every Friday. The film screens once nightly (no matinees) and twice nightly on a Friday and Saturday when the Page theatre organ is played prior to showtime.
The reason there are no Matinee performances is because the Avalon Theatre is part of the Casino Building tour which can be taken during the daytime.
The Film Daily Yearbook;1941 edition lists two theatres in Claremont.
The Claremont Theatre, no seating capacity given and the Village Theatre seating 500. Subsequent editions of F.D.Y. only list the Village Theatre and with a seating capacity of 540.
I would presume the Claremont Theatre was closed around 1940/41.
The operation of the Cineplex Cinema has recently been taken over by a local Independent operator and has been re-named back to its original name; Carlton Cinema.
