Princess Theatre

Last used as storage and an ad (here removed) for Shelor Mobile Homes, the Princess Theatre #2 opened where the original had burned down. The 500-seat theater was a marked upgrade from its 250-seat predecessor and was a theatre that would have been befitting of a town four times larger than Colchester. Launching in April of 1926 with a Wurlitzer pipe organ, the Princess operated seven days a week and thrived until the TV era. The princess hung on just long enough to celebrate its 25th anniversary closing in the TV era.
