This appears to be closed during the 1970s, but both 1980 and 1981 aerial views show that the entire theater was intact, including the screen and glory but half of the traces were overgrown by trees. A 1985 aerial view shows the entire theater being covered in trees, but the screen remained standing but was gone by 1992.
This opened either in the late-1950s or early-1960s, due to the fact that a 1957 aerial view shows that the theater hasn’t been constructed yet. It most likely operated into the mid-1980s. A 1991 aerial view does show the theater with the screen and glory but not appearing to be in operational condition. I got a little glimpse look at the traces and it appears that some very tiny homes were placed. It was already gone during the early-2000s after Bradbury Circle was constructed.
The Dickinson Theatre opened its doors on September 1, 1937 with Bob Burns in “Mountain Music” along with a few unnamed shorts and a newsreel, featuring installations of Western Electric Mirrophonic sound.
It was twinned on February 16, 1977 and was renamed Dix I & II (short for Dickinson), and Carisch Theatres (its last operator) closed the Dix twins on January 7, 1982 with “Sharkey’s Machine” in Screen 1 and Disney’s “Cinderella” in Screen 2.
This opened during the early-1960s and closed on August 31, 1986 with “SpaceCamp” (I cannot confirm if a second feature was shown for not because it was unlisted on ad). Dean’s Repair, a farm equipment repair and service shop opened on the site in February 1998.
Screen appears to be gone by 1973, meaning that this is short-lived. The screen itself also looks smaller than I thought judging by the size in the aerial view.
Current function is first-run.
Spotted one drive-in where Daly Boulevard and Young Drive is, but was already gone by the early-1970s, meaning that it could be the Mount Olive.
Gone by 1973.
So it appears that this only operated for only the 1949 season.
Last operated by Raymond Cailler, who also operated a handful of movie theaters in Maine.

Right after closure, it was immediately demolished to make way for a church and a Sandpiper Seafood restaurant.
