Closed as a first-run movie theater on September 2, 1975 with “The Fortune” after its projectionist Bill Heidemann retired, who had been running the Bardavon (or Poughkeepsie’s dominant first-run A-house leader) since 1932.
It actually opened on June 21, 1967 as a single-screener, not by 1965. And yes, it was operated by the Associated Independent Theatres Inc. chain and owned by David Russell.
Closed as a movie theater by Plitt in March 1985 because of a business lack. ABC Interstate was also one of its previous operators before being taken over by Plitt in 1978.
Opened on July 30, 1976 with “Gator” in Screen 1 and “St. Ives” in Screen 2, and closed on September 26, 1996 with “Maximum Risk” in Screen 1 and “The First Wives Club” in Screen 2.
The two Cass Theatres are located at the same address. Right after the November 29, 1939 fire that cost an estimate $30,000 in damages, it received extensive remodeling and had its grand reopening on February 28, 1940 (with a soft reopening the previous day). This was the second time the Cass Theatre received extensive remodeling, with the first being in 1935 when it was expanded.
Actually, there was an article by the Bay City Times, confirming that the Cass Theatre had its grand reopening on February 28, 1940, with a soft opening the previous day. It was managed by Nile Stafford with an estimate $41,000 in extensive remodeling.
Berger Amusement took over the Paramount during the mid-1930s, alongside the Palace. Its 1985 closure was due to the popularity of nearby Baxter’s triplexes (the Westgate and the Westport).
It was actually closed in the late-1960s and was demolished in the early-1970s to make way for a Kmart. The Kmart opened on November 30, 1972 and closed in 2009. Northern Tool + Equipment, Becker Furniture World, Opitz Outlet, and Big Thrill Factory now occupies the former drive-in and Kmart, but the Kmart’s facade are still intact.
Already dead and gone by the late-1950s.
This closed during the early-1960s.
Great job censoring the title!
