50sSNIPES commented about Carlton Theatre on Nov 2, 2025 at 8:12 am

The Carlton was a twin during its final years. During the early-1980s, first-run films were screened in one auditorium and adult films were screened in the other auditorium. Its last first-run film screened at the Carlton is “The Natural” on July 7, 1984, and the Carlton became an full-time adult-house right afterward.

50sSNIPES commented about Waldorf 301 Drive-In on Nov 2, 2025 at 8:02 am

There is an advertising error on the Baltimore Sun saying that the theater was still showing showtimes in November 1985. I can confirm that its most likely frozen.

50sSNIPES commented about Bob's Theatre on Nov 2, 2025 at 7:43 am

This actually opened as the Virginia City Theatre as early as 1930, although I cannot find the exact opening date. It was renamed Bob’s Virginia City Theatre during World War II, not to be confused with the other Bob’s Theatre in neighboring Twin Bridges. Its name was shorten to just Bob’s Theatre towards the end of its life, and was closed in the early-1950s.
