There are some interesting views of the theater on Google maps. Thanks to Lost Memory for pointing out this feature. There doesn’t seem to be any way to copy and paste the photo, however.
That’s an interesting photo. You can expand it and move the view around to see more of the building. Doesn’t look much like a theater, though, with all the windows.
I think the address may have been 10009 Miles Avenue. That’s where the Arslanian business was located. Here is a site that discusses th Arslanians moving into the old theater. Incidentally, 10000 Miles Avenue is a cemetery, so I assume the carpet warehouse is across the street. http://tinyurl.com/65jfu9
The current occupant is the Wareham Opera House, which is a banquet hall for wedding receptions and meetings. Interestingly enough, the Wareham Theater replaced the Wareham Opera House back in the early part of the twentieth century. Here is a December 2007 article about the renovation of the theater by the current owners: http://tinyurl.com/56c4be
This article states that the Ashland was turned into a tire store after closure. It looks like it’s currently a beauty salon. http://tinyurl.com/58g23z
Looking at the photos from 10/20/07, I’m reminded of the Westlake Theater in Los Angeles. Lots of stuff worth preserving if you can dispose of the tacky retail.

The theater can be seen on Google maps. The front of the buildng has been painted with murals showing the theater’s past. Very interesting,
Google maps shows a very large building that spans 628-630 Moore Street. I doubt if this was the theater.
Google maps has a nice view of the theater, provided you scroll up the street from the original view. Follow the arrows.

That should be the Royal, not the Ashland.

No, go ahead. I’m going down there in about nine months, so I will wait until then to add any theaters in Brazil.

Sorry about that. I deleted some ads by mistake a while ago. If I have time I will try to re-post.
That means the theater is the largest of the two stores on the website. I thought maybe it was the smaller one.
There are photos of two Farmer Joe’s on the store site. One of them may be the old theater:

Address is 26 Front Street.
Looks like status should be closed/demolished. The Dixie closed as a theater on May 31, 1957.

The current occupant is African Hair Braiding Center. I don’t know if the salon is in the original theater building.
