I remember this beautiful theatre from the early 1960s. All the Walt Disney movies used to be shown there; I remember that the two lines at the box office for MARY POPPINS completely surrounded the building, even back to the printer’s shop in the rear. The rest rooms were downstairs, with upholstered chairs where the ladies could sit while waiting. Yes, the interior of the theatre was gutted out for Trinity Rep, but at least they didn’t knock the whole beautiful structure down for some glass and concrete modern abomination.
I saw a few movies here in the early 60s, including a double bill of WAY, WAY OUT with Jerry Lewis and SMOKY with Fess Parker.
