ERD: A student center would be nice, but returning it to a theatre again would be even nicer as so much of it is still there except for the seats, of course.
Also, I have met Barb Hauck through her connection to the Warner Theatre and the Erie Philharmonic office. She gave my husband and I a tour of the Warner a few summers ago which I will never forget and will always be grateful for her kind gesture towards us. We bought a Warner Theatre poster and have it framed in our home. We also attended our first Erie Philharmonic concert this past September and look forward to the next one at the Pepsi Amphitheatre along the shores of Lake Erie. I look forward to continuing our conversation with email.
“…..an emblem on the front that has the WB logo, but it’s a little different than the one we are all used to seeing.” Could you describe this logo on the glasses or send me a photo via email? Thanks.
Joanne: My email is if you wish to scan a photo of these glasses. Thanks so much and it’s a joy to read your Warner memories. Suppose by now you have read Barb’s post concerning the barber and the former Mayor of Erie, Louis Tullio which resulted in the Warner being saved from the wrecking ball.
Joanne: What a beautiful story to read about your father and family who were and continue to be so devoted to the Warner Theatre. I’ve been the gal who is interested in knowing about a possible WB coat of arms as I met a theatre owner in Wellsville NY a few years ago that mentioned a coat of arms being in his theatre.
I love viewing the vintage post card of the art moderne Lake Theatre posted on Sept. 23, 2004. I wonder if the lobby was changed much after the renovations were made though I would certainly understand the auditorium floor being ‘flattened’ to create the museum space. Again, such a shame.
Tom N: Such a shame that the PBICA is now closed especially after the decision was made years ago to discontinue the theatre so now the residents of Lake Worth have neither!
“The Theater cost a $360,000 to build, including furnishings and equipment. The estimated cost to build today would be $100 million.” Perhaps someone should have read this quote before demolition began in 1975.
Having told friends who were recently in Phoenix about the Orpheum I have now refreshed my theatre memory to the fact that Phoenix also HAD the Fox, but chose to bring it down in 1975 to make room for a bus terminal!?! Shame.
As I recall from my last visit to Lockport the building across the street was the ‘architecturally pleasing’ former post office which is mentioned after clicking on the word, Here, in the recent “Lost Memory” post.
Roloff: And after comparing the post card on this site with the one you have posted they have made a wonderful change in the exterior of this theatre by taking down that 70’s looking facade. Too bad to read that the building next to the theatre has been demolished as it was probably a nice storefront business at one time.
Roloff: Thanks for posting the evening photo. I used to visit Deland on a regular basis when my late father lived in the area, but I wasn’t into old theatres then so I didn’t really notice this Deland ‘gem’ which is a shame.
Louis: There are 3 name search windows. The first window is for the first name, the second is for the last name and the third is for Keyword so am having difficulty locating Jim’s obituary on this site.

rlvjr: If you go see Taylor Hicks at the Tampa, please let us know about that special concert in a special theatre.

Lost Memory: What a beautiful photo of a restored Coronado. Congrats to the fine folks of Rockford Illinois!
First the Lake Theatre is changed and then the Paramount in Palm Beach. Such a shame.
Perhaps the high profile Mr. Montgomery could return it to a theatre as that just might succeed!

I think Justin is into the new era of movie going and needs to see one of the classic old movie houses to perhaps broaden his view, imo.
In past years I’ve been to a Muvico theatre in south FL (City Place) and was not impressed.
“The Theater cost a $360,000 to build, including furnishings and equipment. The estimated cost to build today would be $100 million.” Perhaps someone should have read this quote before demolition began in 1975.
I hesitate to ask, but does anyone have photos of the demolition phase?

I’m sure this PBCCMA is very nice, but sure wish it was still the Lake Theatre.

Kingsnorth: No doubt you are aware of the Raymond Theatre ‘saga’ located in Pasadena CA. www.raymondtheatre.com
Bill: Thanks for the Orpheum organ information.
And the ticket kios is one of the most unusual I have ever viewed on CT.
I don’t know if this is the theater, but I recently read that Nicholas Cage once sold popcorn at a Fairfax Theater so wonder if this is the one.
