I think “Cinema Treasures” is certainly a relative term. A theater where you saw your first film might be a treasure, of course. Imagine that the theater had been demolished for thirty years, and then you come on here and see photos that bring back those childhood memories. In my opinion confining the discourse to the palaces, many of which were demolished before we were born, would satisfy the intent of the original creators but would also be a little dull if the same fifty or a hundred theaters were discussed ad nauseum.

I remember David Bowie playing at the Tower when I was in college (late 70s or early 80s) but I don’t recall the exact year. Here is a Temple U photo of the Tower from 1966:

You can see the Milgram in the right background, along with the Center.

There is a Smart and Final behind the theater. I think the swap meet is in the parking lot on weekends.

There is a page before this on the site that gives dates and some history. I usually post the larger photo.

This photo is from 1951. The citizens are waiting in line to buy license plates:

Here is a 1955 photo. Ronald Reagan didn’t warrant marquee status by that time, apparently:

It’s East Rochester. I made a mistake when I entered the information. The location should be corrected accordingly.

There was a debate on the Joy Theater page about whether the name was Joy or Joy’s. I think the Joy faction won. If you look at the 1963 photo, there is a business called Joy’s down the street from the theater, but I don’t believe that is the Joy theater.
