I’m not sure when the business changed hands, but my mom ran the Midtown Theater in Norwich, and the State Theater in Jewett City during the mid to late seventies. I remember at the time Ed Lord was running the Palace. What a grand place the Midtwon was; 1250 seats, dressing rooms, that huge stage, wall mirrors lining the entry into the lobby. I remember my mom would only charge $.99 for a movie.I have such great memories of watching movies, concerts, and shows there. We sure could use more places like that around today.
Ken Mc’s pic link was the Midtown Theater, at least thats what it was called in the 70s.
