The 1963 motion picture almanac lists the Normana, Floyd Theater and Rice Drive-In as El Campo theaters under the direction of Frels Theaters, Inc. President was Mrs. Ruben Frels.

I agree. There must be a better place to put these ads. Especially the drugs – it’s a little distracting.

The Strand was part of the Schine Circuit in the early sixties.

kencmcintyre commented about Leader Theatre on Sep 15, 2007 at 7:32 pm

I went to college in West Philadelphia. I probably walked by this building numerous times, not realizing it was a theater at one time. That part of Lancaster Avenue wasn’t the best neighborhood in the early eighties. I don’t know what it’s like now.
