BoodyBoy……You are absolutely correct on the date of the demolition, 1974. I confirmed that with the company that tore it down. I would love to have pictures of that event. Thanks for making me do a little more research.
Thank you for the information above. I wonder if anyone knows what movie it opened with on Feb. 22, 1949? I know it caught fire and was closed for about 6-9 months.
The Glymont had a seating capacity of 499 seats. Anything 500 and over required a sprinkler system. There was about 65 seats in the balcony. I can still remember the layout of the building.
How sure are you of the closing date. I have been trying to find the exact date it closed it’s doors, but haven’t had any luck at this point.

Concession booth at the Glymont. Bill Friedman with two Lackey High School students who worked there in the late 50’s and early 60’s.
