I would post the current establishment’s website here, but as I have already been excoriated on another page for being prurient and salacious, I’ll leave it alone. Look it up on Google.

Sorry, wrong theater. I posted the link in the Waynesville listing.

Here is a photo of the American Theatre in Casper (note the name change). The building appears to be similar to that as shown in the photo above.

kencmcintyre commented about Rosslyn Theatre on Mar 4, 2006 at 12:42 am

I have visited the following website many times for its exhaustive details on Main Street, block by block. Nary a mention of the Rosslyn Theater, although this history may pre-date the theater’s existence. It’s a puzzle.

Take a look at this map, circa 1950. The Rosslyn Theater is shown on Main between 4th and 5th:

Regarding the above discussion on human foolishness, you only have to look at the 2003 nightclub fire in Rhode Island to realize that human nature doesn’t change much in a century.

$40,000 Canadian? How much is that for us? It sounds like a bargain either way.

kencmcintyre commented about Tilton Square Theatre on Feb 27, 2006 at 9:46 pm

The supermarket was an A&P, not a Shop Rite, after I thought about it for a while. This would be in the late 60s. There was another A&P in Pleasantville and a small one in Absecon around that time.

There’s plenty of information on this film on the usual search engines. It doesn’t look like it’s available on DVD at present.

kencmcintyre commented about Center Theatre on Feb 25, 2006 at 6:55 pm

I was in Atlantic City in January. The area by Columbus Park has been completely redeveloped with chain stores, but no movie theater. That seems like an odd omission if you’re trying to get people out of the casinos and into the mall several blocks from the boardwalk. If the retailers are counting on the locals, they are in trouble.

kencmcintyre commented about Tilton Square Theatre on Feb 25, 2006 at 6:50 pm

You may be talking about a different era. When I was a kid, the supermarket was a Shop Rite, across the street from the cemetery. The Woolworths was on the other side of the mall, by the movie theater. There was also a bank where the McDonalds is now. I ruined one of the summers of my youth cooking french fries at that McDonalds.
