Say, just in passing, is anyone familier with the small neighborhood theater that was in Rocky River, west of Lakewood. Back in the 50’s, I spent many a Saturday there enjoying the kids matinees. Two cartoons, a short and the feature. The good old days. Anyway, for the life of me, I can’t remember the name of the theater. Does anybody know it?
I just recently discovered the Cinema Treasures website. As an ex-Clevelander, and one whose father was a senior publicist for Universal Pictures, I have fond boyhood memories of the Hippodrome; and enjoyed reading all the comments. I had many a visit to Jack Silverthorne’s office, and always enjoyed looking at all the pictures. I have a number of interior/exterior photos of the Hipp, commissioned by my father, which I have scanned. I attempted to post some here, but the function is apparently offline. I would be happy to share them with anyone interested.
