I have a disk with copies of some Davis Cone paintings (Popcorn Palace), in black and white, unfortunately. I also have some photos from Michael Putnam’s book. I e-mailed management to see what the rules are on posting these, but if any CT denizen can give me the info I would appreciate it.
According to the East Berlin News Comet, edition of 3/31/50, the following local businesses offered best wishes to Bill Snyder and the Dillsburg theater on its grand opening. It appears that the Dillsburg Meat Market opened on the same date as congrats were offered to both:

Central Cut Rate
J.H. Rearick Building Materials
Fisher & Son Lumber
Castles Building Material
Here is an article from the Suburbanite Economist dated 3/26/61 concerning closure of the Ogden:
Old Ogden Theater Is Shut Down
Building Commissioner George Ramsey Friday condemned as unsafe the Ogden Theater at 1619 W. 63rd Street. This action came after complaints of zoning and building violations were filed by South Lynne Community Council and West Ogden Civic Improvement Association.
Last used six months ago for movies, the theater had been the scene all last week of “The Great Miracle Revivalâ€, which was marked by false fire alarms, four arrests for disorderly conduct and one for shooting fireworks. According to police reports, the theater has been leased by the religious group for four months with an option to renew.
