Growing up in Brunswick Maine I too attended the Cumberland Theatre as a youngster during the sixties. Waiting in line against the Maine National Bank fence was a common sight on any Saturday or Sunday afternoon. We would purchase candy at Day’s Variety, or F.W. Woolworths and sneak it in. Still to this day I am reminded of the Cumberland whenever I smell theatre popcorn. Saddened to see it demolished for a parking lot for Senters. I do have a two seat section from the theatre that my brother carried home during it’s demo that we still use today. I am trying to track down some photographs and hopefully can post later.
