I lived in Warren 1973-1975 and saw the 1973 re-release of The Sound of Music at this theater when I was 12. I recall it had numerous holes and rips in the screen which was very distracting, but nevertheless it had that wonderful cavernous echo that you only got in the pre-war movie theaters. Was it possible that this theater was ever known as the “Downtown”? My memory could just be playing tricks on me, but I thought I recalled this theater as the “Downtown” rather than the “Daniel.”
Some of my best memories of childhood movie going were at this theater… either from the summer of 1969 or 1970. In particular, I saw what had to be the most unusual double feature ever… “With Six, You Get Eggroll” and “West Side Story”
