Final screening was October 31, 1954 when the Comerford Amusement Circuit decided not to renew its lease because the theatre couldn’t be upgraded to CinemaScope and other widescreen formats of the era. A good fifty year run.

The Roman Theatre opened for business as a movie theatre on February 23, 1914 with 700 seats. The theater closed for about a month in October of 1918 to expand to 1,000 seats re-launching on November 9, 1918

Thanks for the picture TC. Found a similar one at a local library but it was in very poor condition. The one you found is much clearer.
