Some nice interior and exterior shots of the Galway in the pilot episode of Starsky and Hutch. The place with the yellow marquee was called Book Nook. It was a storefront adult theater.
This 1940s photo is admittedly lacking as far as the Fortuna is concerned, but it is an interesting view of Main Street at that time: http://tinyurl.com/6kc262
Here are some circa 1940s photos that I found on eBay. The seller gave the city as Fulton, PA, but they are clearly showing the theater in Lancaster. http://tinyurl.com/6d5hof http://tinyurl.com/5j2vz5
There are three theaters listed on Fourth Street in Huntington, but none with Lyric as an aka. This may have been a shortlived theater. The date is 1920: http://tinyurl.com/6mn4g9

Larry Harnisch posted the March 1957 Confidential article about Maureen O'Hara on the LA Times' Daily Mirror blog. O'Hara sued and proved she was out of the country on the date in question.

I usually put the dates on. I was working and doing this at the same time, so I wasn’t being thorough.

In the 3/28 photo, what is the story with the marquee down the block? Is that another theater or former theater?
This 1944 photo from the NYT may have been posted before. Apologies for any duplication:

The site gives 1923, but the url says 1926. I agree that it’s not the 1946 Fairmont. It must have been an earlier theater in Huntington.
It looks like one to me. Large enough, anyway.

This must have been its predecessor. The photo is either 1923 or 1926. The site was a little conflicted on that.
