The Cheatles (a Beatles tribute band) play on the stage of the Gaumont State after the final session of Mecca Bingo (closing night Sunday 19th August 2007). Stick with it as there are shots of the auditorium towards the end:

Ken Roe commented about Washington Theater on Oct 13, 2007 at 5:46 pm

Rather strangely, the Washington Theatre is listed in the 1941 and 1943 editions of Film Daly Yearbook with a 350 seating capacity, located at 121 Boggs Avenue (close enough to the address given above for the Glade Theatre). The 1950 edition of FDY gives the Glade Theatre location as 348 Boggs Avenue (381 seats).

I wonder if there was a re-numbering of the street? and also a change of name?

Ken Roe commented about Mammoth Cinema on Oct 10, 2007 at 5:00 pm

Looking at various pages on the internet regarding the Terrace Theatre, Tinonee, NSW it seems to be a 120 years old building, which has many antique artifacts on display. It screens old newreels and some modern movies. Several web sites mention it is closed and will re-open in January 2007. Whether this happened I am not sure. It seems to be a sort of tourist novelty for the small town it is located in and even goes by the name Terrace Cinema Museum.

On the other hand the Screen Room is a regular public cinema, screening new first run movies concurrent with the local multiplexes.

Ken Roe commented about Baray Andet Cinema on Oct 6, 2007 at 1:03 pm

Warren, This is an internet site which covers the entire world. Ok, there may not be much information on theatres like this to start with, but that is what Cinema Treasures is all about. Hopefully someone local to the area, or a visitor/tourist will now have the opportunity to input some more details.

I can think of many American theatres on this site, some in major cities, that have absolutely no description or details about the buildings, but slowly these details eventually emerge.
