Derry’s Ole Tyme Cafe did occupy the former Century theater building before the fire. It is now the Crescent Theater as mentioned above. I am a friend to the owner of the Crescent and when it was renovated they took it all the way down to the old slab that was sunk into the ground. Before it was the Century It started as the Crescent Theater and was a Live performance theater. It was also the first theater in Mobile to show silent motion pictures.
The Midtown theater is closed. It was replaced by The Crown(nightclub) then Atlantis (nightclub) and a few other nightclub which are all closed also. The building is currently empty but I was there today and it appears they are painting it so something show be being planned but it will not be a theater.
