Another major reno not mentioned in the overview was the one for the stage production of Candide. All the seats were removed. The audience sat in a balcony that ran around the entire theatre. The show was performed below in the entire space.
The Centre was located in the Los Alamos Community Center flanked by a soda shop and a bowling alley on either side. After it became the High Society it was converted into a triplex designed by Los Alamos architect Conrad Skinner. It closed in 2001.
I’ve uploaded a photo of the marquee and entrance from 1950.
Gerald, checked out all the theatres in the ad to see if on CT. Couldn’t find the Campus in Wakefield, presumably MA rather than NH. There are two theatres in Wakefield, the Wakefield and the Princess but neither indicates that they were ever call Campus.
The silent film theatre mentioned above was probably the Postville, the ad for which appears in this photo section featuring a 1929, pre-code silent film, The Voice of the City.
There is a tremendous amount of parking behind the theatre before you get to the stores which are part of the shopping center. Also a lot adjacent to the side by the box office. Someone previously indicated parking would be restricted. I don’t see how that would be possible.
Was the theatre really demolished? Forty years, at that location, there were live production in the Dixie Theatre. See photo uploaded. Subsequently the space has been called the Stage on Main.
Arey N. Miles was the founder of the Eminence Theatre. It was originally in the Koenigstein Building but later transferred to the Eminence Shopping Mart. Both locations are on Main Street. The last reference to a screening found in the Henry County Library was in 1965. I have uploaded a photo of that reference plus an early photo of the facade.
Worked for me. Wonder how the public will receive the production.

Opening delayed pending approvals by the Town Board and the Fire Marshall.

First new theater in Flushing in 35 years.
Surprisingly with all the discussion of photos there is none in the photo section.
Theatre just celebrated 100 years on May 23rd. The Long Island Advance published a side by side picture of then and now which I’ve uploaded.
My point is that it is not on CT.

The “A” was probably for Aubrey. And the Webb theatre was probably owned and operated by him.
50sSNIPES I found a picture of a Roxy Theatre in Ripley. Have to do some research.
The theatre has been there for decades. So that should not be an insurmountable problem.

Uploaded photos from the Postville Herald from May 19, 1932 and January 21, 1957 showing ads for the Iris.
Uploaded a photo.

RobertR- Attendance is way off. Apparently the conditions to the movie rental agreements are extremely costly.
Phone message indicates classic films are being shown Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Was not impressed by the selection.
Mattituck and Long Beach just closed. Hampton Bays is still open but will become a CVS when the approvals are received.
Lost Mattituck and Long Beach this month.
Leaving only about two dozen theatres to serve all of Long Island.
Uploaded two postcard images which I believe to be of the second Boyes Theater. I believe this, the third, was a Quonset Hut Theatre.
There was also a multiplex in town, the Sonoma 9 which has its own listing on CT, initially established, incorrectly, in Sonoma.
Contrary to the overview I found a reference that said the Carolee had 18 screens and 4,810 plush stadium style seats. Upload a photo.
