The Hilltop Drive-In opened its gates on June 14, 1957 with Elenor Parker in “Lizzie” and Van Johnson in “Bottom Of The Bottle” (unknown if extras added). It was closed on September 24, 1988 with “Die Hard” and “Big”.
The Shinkyogoku Sakaiza Theatre closed for the final time on November 22, 2001, alongside several other movie theaters in Kyoto that operated under the Shochiku chain. This was because of the opening of the nearby MOVIX Kyoto.
The Trio Theatre opened its doors on March 23, 1918 with Ethel Clayton in “Souls Adrift” along with an unnamed two-reel comedy. It was originally managed by T.F. Houx and A.D. Hanners. Movies ended in 1933, but managed to continue operating as a special events house throughout the remainder of the 1930s.
Opened on June 27, 1918 as El Dorado’s third Airdome. It was still advertised into as late as May 1919, though I cannot find any more information on it.
W.R. Rowell, the manager of the Palace Gem Theatre (later Gem Theatre), opened the Airdome in June 1911 screening a mix of movies and vaudeville. It was closed after the 1916 season.
The New American Airdome (El Dorado’s second airdome) opened its doors on May 19, 1917 with the Dorothy Reeves Company in the live presentation of “Home And Honer” alongside five acts of vaudeville and performances by the theater’s orchestra. It was owned by J.M. Owens and Ed Troutman.
The New American Airdome closed after the 1917 season, but it didn’t stop El Dorado, because a third Airdome opened at Wonderland Park in June 1918.
The Palace Gem Theatre opened its doors on April 19, 1909 by manager W.R. Rowell and the Osburn, Daintre & Osborn Circuit company. The building measures 25x100ft and its original drop curtain was painted by J. Westhfer of Kansas City, who also added local merchants all over the outer skirts of the painting. The “Palace Gem Theatre” was renamed simply “Gem Theatre” in March 1911 and received renovation in July 1912.
Closed on September 4, 1997.
Opened with Frank Morgan in “Courage Of Lassie” (unknown if extras added).
Still intact in the 1966 aerial view, but just like 1960, I cannot tell if it’s still operating as well.
Rest-In-Piece Ted Turner (1938-2026).
