Just passed by the theater while stopping in Stroudsburg this morning for Starbucks on my way back to NYC! This theater has a very handsome new, but traditional, Marquee and is very much still open. Nice surprise!
This was the announcement in the January 27, 1929 issue of Film Daily: “Stroudsburg, Pa.— H. A. and Fred F. Scheurmann have opened their Sherman here.”
On January 27, 1971, the Sherman Theatre became a twin theater as the Sherman I & II Theatre. The theater remained as a twin until closing as a movie house in the mid-1980s.
