The December, 2020 issue of The Inkwell, billing itself as “A Newsletter for Friends of the Bradford Landmark Society” (PDF here) included a list of Bradford’s theaters, and says that a house called the Peerless Theatre operated at 115 Main Street from 1907 to 1917. I’ve found the Peerless mentioned in trade journals in 1912, but it was not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, though that publication is known for its frequent omissions.
The May 22, 1920 issue of Moving Picture World said that the Melvin brothers, operating the Lyceum Theater at Bradford, Pennsylvania, had purchased a franchise from The First National Exhibitors Exchange. First National was formed in 1917 by a merger of 26 large theater circuits, and eventually controlled 600 houses nationwide, about 200 of them being first run operations. Thomas Talley of Los Angeles was among the founders, though the company’s headquarters was in New Orleans. The chain established production facilities in Burbank, California in 1924, which became the Warner Bros studio in 1929.
Film Daily of August 28, 1927 said that “Geo. Kilgen & Son, Inc., pipe organ Builders of St. Louis, have shipped a two manual organ to the Rex, Albion, Nebraska, which is now being installed.”
The most succinct history of this theater I’ve found is this post from the Kiel Area Historical Society’s Facebook page. It says that Keil’s original Pastime Theatre operated at 501 Fremont Street from 1912 to 1917, when it was replaced by the second Pastime at 510 Fremont. The new theater operated as the Pastime until 1939, when it was renamed the Kiel Theatre. The Kiel Theatre closed in 1961 and the building was converted for use as an automobile showroom the following year. It has since been converted for ordinary retail purposes, though on the most recent Google street view car’s pass (August, 2024) it appeared to be vacant.
There are several photos of the 1917 house on the Internet. It featured a triumphal arch façade, perhaps the single most popular style for small, purpose-built movie theaters in the U.S. during the period leading up to the First World War. The building is still recognizable today despite a few unfortunate alterations. An August 28, 1927 Film Daily item said that a $7,000 organ had just been installed in the Pastime, an expense the owners most likely soon regretted when it became apparent that talking pictures were here to stay.
The Texas section of the “Theatre Changes” column in the October 4, 1937 issue of Film Daily listed the Timberland Theatre at Diboll under the heading “Openings.” It was first listed in the 1938 FDY with 400 seats.
A quick check of earlier FDYs shows no listing for Diboll in 1935, 1936, or 1937, nor in 1926 or 1929, but the town had at least two theaters earlier. The July 1, 1916 issue of Moving Picture World had this item: “Diboll, Tex.—B. F. Tucker has opened a new theater at Diboll. This gives this fine little city two theaters.” Diboll, however, made no appearance in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory.
This memorial page for Elvis Larry Bowman says that he “…was the owner of the Timberland Theatre in Diboll from 1970 – 1989.” As it doesn’t say that he actually operated the theater or at least leased it to an operator, it can’t be assumed the place was actually open during that period, but it might have been.
There is a 1941 photo of the Timberland on this web page, and to my eye it bears no resemblance to the building at the theater’s address now, though in a glimpse of the back of the current building available on Google’s street view it looks much older than the front, so it is possible it was simply remodeled beyond recognition.
The plain, vernacular style of the original building might have been built at just about any time in the first half of the 20th century, so it could be that the house did date from 1915 or 1916 and, long dormant, was renovated and reopened in 1937.
The November 13, 1954 issue of Boxoffice said that CinemaScope equipment had been installed at the Tejas Theatre in Grapeland. A predecessor house called the Star Theatre had installed a new projector, according to the January 13, 1923 issue of Exhibitors Trade Review. The Star might have been the house the July 1, 1916 issue of Moving Picture World said that B. C. Lively had recently opened at Grapeland.
The theaters listed at Madera in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory were called the Royal and the Pastime. The latter was mentioned in The Billboard in January, 1911. As there is no clue where they were located, either name might have been an aka for the house that became the Wonderland.
Here is earlier news about the Rex, from a history of the county published in 1949: “Mr. William Pratt had his Barber Shop on the land that Fred and Francis Thompson purchased for the building of the Strand Theatre in 1920. The Barber Shop was then moved off its foundation and re-located where Paul’s Shoe Shop now stands. The Strand Theatre was leased by John Cribble and during his management was destroyed by fire. It was purchased in 1935 by H. J. Thompson, remodeled and renamed THE REX THEATRE”
The 1926 FDY lists three houses at Curwensville: the Opera House, the Grand, and the Strand. No locations or seating capacities are given for any. All three were still listed in 1929, but in 1930 only the Strand remained. It was last listed in 1933, and Curwensville then vanishes from the FDY until 1935, when the Rex is listed, so it was likely 1933 when the Strand burned.
The 550-seat Rex Theatre at Curwensville was offered for sale in a classified ad in the December 2, 1968 issue of Boxoffice. The ad said the house was in operation and in “excellent condition.” The asking price was not mentioned.
This item from the October 10, 1940 issue of Film Daily is clearly wrong in its headline claim, but this still might have been a different building than the the one the Liberty had been in, perhaps the one next door: “First House for Madera
“Madera, Pa.—Opening of the new 500 seat Madera Theater, owned and constructed by Mid-West Theaters, Inc., gives this town its first motion picture house.” (“Mid-West Theaters” obviously a typo for “Mid-State Theaters.”)
Other than the mention of a house called the Pastime in a 1911 Billboard item, this is the only mention of Madera I’ve been able to find in the trade journals. Two houses were listed there in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, but they were the Pastime and a house called the Royal. Locations weren’t provided for either.
The Coliseum was the only house listed at Stoneboro in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. The September 26, 1914 issue of The New York Clipper had two ads from Stoneboro in sequence:
“STONEBORO, PA. Book now for coming Season. Everything working full time. Write for dates. Hines opera house, box 14.”
and
“THE COLISEUM THEATRE, Stoneboro, Pa. New house. Ground floor. Large stage. Modern equipment. Electric lighted. Open time for good attractions. E. AL. RAYMOND, Manager.”
So the Coliseum was new in 1914, and originally featured live performances, but had to have been equipped for movies as well, or it wouldn’t have been listed in the AMPD.
The only mention of the house I’ve found in the movie theater industry trade journals is this item from the October 21, 1922 issue of Moving Picture World: “Tom Greer, of the Coliseum Theatre, Stoneboro, Pa., recently motored to Pittsburgh in his flivver, and was arrested here for speeding. But Tom got out of his trouble. He told the cop he had just assembled the car and forgot to put the slow parts back into it.”
Its official web site is once again listing this house as the Falls Theatre rather than the Falls Cinema. According to this article from Minnesota Public Radio News the new owners, Phil and Suzy Prosapio, are a local couple who have been involved in renovating and reinvigorating downtown Little Falls for some time, and they completely renovated the theater, restoring its 1933 Art Deco look, before reopening it on Friday, October 6, 2023. The opening feature on one of the three screens was “The Nuisance,” the romantic comedy that opened the house in 1933.
A June 25, 1908 Cameron County Press article about the first anniversary of the Theatorium said that the owners had operated in the Opera House for a time. The Theatorium had originally opened in a storefront on Broad Street on June 22, 1907, but this location proved too small, and it soon moved to the Opera House. It had moved into the Shives Building (presumably the one at 36 E. 4th) around January 1, 1908. By the middle of 1908, vaudeville acts had been added to the Theatorium’s programs. The Theatorium was still listed in the FDY in 1929, when it had 230 seats. The 480 seat Opera House was its only listed competitor.
An Emporium Theatre on 4th Street and the Emporium Opera House on South Street were both listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. I don’t see a South Street on the map of Emporium, so perhaps it was just an alternate name for Fourth Street, and these were both the same theater.
The May 13, 1909 issue of the Cameron County Press carried an announcement that the Opera House at Emporium would reopen for the season Monday evening with a program of vaudeville and movies. In 1926, capsule movie reviews were being submitted to Moving Picture World by manager A. E. Andrews of the Opera House, Emporium. Mr. Andrews included the seating capacity of the house (486) and the prices (10-25 and 15-30, presumably for matinees and evenings, respectively.)
The NRHP registration form for the Little Falls Commercial Historic District says that the Ripley Theatre building was built in 1936 and was designed by architect Sheldon Haatvedt.
The May 22, 1948 issue of Boxoffice said that the Pix Theatre in Minneapolis, having returned to the name Newsreel a month previously, had once again restored the name Pix. The house was still under lease to Metropolitan Theatres, and showing double-feature revivals.
What may have been the first instance of the Metropolitan Opera House being used for movies was noted in this item from the “Philadelphia Pointers” column of Moving Picture World for April 3, 1920:
“‘Pollyanna’ in Grand Opera Surroundings.
“Thousands of dollars will be spent by the United Artists' Corporation to change the Metropolitan Opera House into an up-to-date motion picture palace in time for the opening presentation, ‘Pollyanna,’ commencing May 8. It is expected to have Mary Pickford here in person providing she does not go abroad before that date.”
Mary Pickford was 27 years old when she portrayed Eleanor H. Porter’s 12 year old heroine. “Pollyanna” was Pickford’s first film for her recently established United Artists studio. A blockbuster for its time, the film had a budget of $300,000 and grossed $1.1 million worldwide in its initial theatrical run. Now in the public domain, at least in the US, multiple copies have been uploaded to YouTube where it can be watched at no charge.
News about the Main Theatre from the April 3, 1920 issue of Moving Picture World:
“Fire Exits Stand the Test.
“The Main Theatre, a house situated in a thickly populated section of Cleveland at East Twenty-fifth street and Scoville avenue, was put out of business March 11, when a fire broke out in the building in which the entrance to the theatre was situated. Although the blaze started about 8:30 in the evening, and the theatre was well filled, there was no panic whatever. As soon as the smoke commenced to come into the auditorium, the fire exits were opened and in a short time the theatre was emptied.
“The building in front of the theatre, a four-story structure, was very badly damaged, the loss being about $100,000. Several firemen were injured when a roof fell. The fire did not start in the theatre, but in the loft of the building where a laundry is located.
“The theatre was leased and operated by O. E. Belles, of Cleveland, and F. G. Stevens, of Newark, O. They also operated a candy shop in the burned building. As soon as possible, the damage will be repaired and a new entrance made for the house so that it can resume business.”
The Temple Theatre was open long before 1940. It was listed in the 1926 city directory at the address above, and was listed in the 1926 and 1929 FDYs with 666 seats. The earliest photo of the house at Water Winter Wonderland shows a theater front characteristic of the 1910s. As the Temple was mentioned in Moving Picture World in 1916, but not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, a 1915 opening is possible.
The November 20, 1915 issue of Moving Picture World mentioned the plan to sometimes show movies at the Bellamy Opera House: “The Bellamy opera house at Boyne City is undergoing extensive improvements. Photoplays will be used when there are no dramatic attractions.”
An article published in 2004 on the occasion of the theater’s 100th anniversary said that the formal opening of the Bellamy Opera House on March 19, 1904 was not very well attended due to very bad weather. Fewer than 300 people showed up at the 750-seat house (Gus Hill’s 1914 directory listed it with 650 seats) for the performance by the popular Gorton’s Minstrels. On the whole, though, the theater was a welcome addition to Boyne City, hosting a variety of attractions and civic events, including the town’s first exhibition of motion pictures on May 6, 1907.
The November 20, 1915 issue of Michigan Manufacturer and Financial Record had an item about the theater’s renovation that year:
“BOYNE CITY’S NEW THEATER.
“Boyne City will soon have one of the best theaters in northern Michigan. The Bellamy opera house has been closed and extensive repairs are being made on the building.
“The structure is being entirely remodeled in the interior, a new front is being built, a cement lobby is to be erected opening into the building from the street and leading from the lobby to the opera house proper will be a covered way of brick. The front and lobby will be brilliantly and artistically lighted and the place will present, withal, a true metropolitan appearance.”
The 1927 renovations were equally extensive. They involved reconstruction of the balcony and reconfiguring the stairs, a new projection room, the addition of a ladies lounge, a new heating plant and ventilation system, and complete redecoration of the interior. The revamped house opened as the Boyne Theatre on September 13, 1927.
The Lake could be the first of the two theaters noted in this item from Moving Picture World of May 14, 1927: “Shreveport, La., is to have two new theatres. Charles Morel, El Dorado, Ark., plans to build at Portland and Fetzer avenues. His house will cost about $30,000. A. L. Waller plans a house on Texas avenue. It will have a main floor and balcony and cover a site 40 by 125 feet. Plans for both houses have been prepared by Jones, Roessle, Olschner & Wiener, Ardis Building, Shreveport, La.”
Fetzer Avenue is the former name of Lakeshore drive. The house on Texas Avenue may have been the Star, though that didn’t open until 1930.
The May 14, 1927 Moving Picture World had this item about the beginning of the Meteor Theatre: “Harry Kelley has just purchased a site on West 12th street, Bentonville, Ark., on which he plans to erect a new theatre. The lot is 110 by 42 feet.” The June 11 issue of the same journal repeated the news: “A new theatre, to be named the Meteor, and to cost around $40,000, is being built by Harry Kelly at Bentonville, Arkansas.”
The December, 2020 issue of The Inkwell, billing itself as “A Newsletter for Friends of the Bradford Landmark Society” (PDF here) included a list of Bradford’s theaters, and says that a house called the Peerless Theatre operated at 115 Main Street from 1907 to 1917. I’ve found the Peerless mentioned in trade journals in 1912, but it was not listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, though that publication is known for its frequent omissions.
Dreamland was opened by, but not necessarily on, February 5, 1908, and was mentioned in the March 28 issue of Moving Picture World that year.
The May 22, 1920 issue of Moving Picture World said that the Melvin brothers, operating the Lyceum Theater at Bradford, Pennsylvania, had purchased a franchise from The First National Exhibitors Exchange.
