DavidZornig commented about State Theatre on Sep 16, 2020 at 7:24 am

Update: Address would have been 105 Main Street. In looking at the two photos, the State Theatre being 2 doors down from the Pastime Theatre at 103, and the curve of the train tracks. The street numbering goes up to the left of the Pastime Theatre. Six buildings were destroyed in the March 11, 1938. The Pastime Theatre survived.

Address is/was 103 Main Street. The Pastime Theatre was owned by Tony Reda who also owned the State Theatre 2 doors down. I set up a page for the State Theatre and will post a photo when it’s up on CT. The Facebook page for Vicco Antique Mall had it’s last post in June 2020. Street view shows a new house at that address. I sent a message to the Vicco Antique Mall to ask if it is still standing.

DavidZornig commented about Strand Theatre on Sep 7, 2020 at 2:48 pm

1969 photo added via wsasser, from the Norva Theatre CT page. (Hofheimer’s signage visible. Likely previous Strand marquee.)

Per JGKlein on the Norva Theatre page on August 19, 2017 at 10:47 am:

Across the street (from Norva Theatre) is “Hofheimer’s”, a shoe store at 325 Granby St. in Norfolk. This building was the location of the former Victoria Theatre, built in 1911 as a vaudeville/movie theatre. By 1916 it was renamed the Strand and operated as a full time movie theatre. As of 2017, the same building that was once the Victoria Theatre is still standing.

DavidZornig commented about Dixie Theatre on Sep 6, 2020 at 9:55 am

It appears the address was likely 206 E. Main Street. It has since been demolished and the First National Bank next door to the right expanded onto it’s property and a neighboring building to the bank’s left. The 1946 photo shows only two columns on the bank, and today there are six via street view, which shows the same buildings to it’s left as in a 1930s photo in the book Warren County by Cody Prince & Krystal Tanner. Including a 6 window former J.C. Penney 3 doors to the left which is still standing. It was also open much earlier than the 1930s. As I’ve added an early 1900s photo of the same view as the 1946 photo.

Found references to the Rebel Theatre possibly moving from one location to another in this group. Once I can sort it out I’ll set up a page for it as they have a couple pics.
