We kids called this theatre “The Two Stick” in the early 50s. You needed to take two sticks with you when you went: one to prop up the seat and another to keep the rats away! It always had a Saturday matinee western double feature. I saw some great stage shows there including The Three Stooges right after Curly left and Shemp joined the team. Smiley Burnette was there another time.

Is this theatre just “closed” or was it demolished? I have written a Raleigh friend and will hopefully get the answer!

What a neat photo from the mid 40’s! I even like the boy’s bike!
