The Midway was built in 1916, and still needs to be changed in the Overview.
The link I posted in 2015 is still up, and it confirms that year and that they wanted to reopen by their 100th anniversary.
In the Photos Section I just posted a Vista Theatre poster promoting the Bela Lugosi In-Person screening of “Dracula”.
December 8 was a Monday in 1947, as the poster indicates.
So that confirms the above query about the date.
Also on the poster Theatre is spelled with an “re” and not an “er”.
Contrary to all other sources and their website.
So possibly the printer’s interpretation.
