The Homewood was listed in the 1963 IMPA, in its last year of existence as a theater according to the information above. The operating chain was the Waters Theater Co. of Birmingham. J.R. Waters was the film booker, while W.D Waters was the purchasing head.

Operated by Western Amusements as the Antelope in the early sixties.

In the early sixties the Canadian was operated by the K. Lee Williams theater chain. This chain also operated the McClain and the Sky-Vue Auto Theater in Purcell at the time.

In 1963, the Hoo Hoo was part of the K. Lee Williams chain, along with the Gurdon Auto Theater.

Maybe it wasn’t. The 1963 motion picture almanac lists the Ephrata Roxy as part of the Roxy Theater Circuit. Other theaters in the circuit at that time were the Roosevelt in Downington, the Main in Ephrata, the Campus and Roxy in Lewisburg, the Martin and Roxy in Lock Haven and the Roxy in Meyersdale. These were all in PA. Roxy officers were the Stiefel brothers, Oscar, Harry, Barney and Morris.

And another one bites the dust. Although judging by the photo posted on 10/15/06, I’m not sure if rehab was feasible.
