You can highlight them then click Open In New Tab. Or copy and paste them into your browser. Unfortunately I do not know how to paste them as clickable links. I just copy and paste them here.

Wish there was a way to turn posted links blue so we could simply tap on it to view.

The 104-year tradition has ended. The Pioneer Theatre in Manteo last showed a film on November 16, 2022 with “Wakanda Forever.” A temporary closure occurred for a projector issue. But on December 13, 2022, the management decided to make the closure permanent ending the Pioneer’s run - one of the nation’s longest running movie theaters.

Somewhere I saw a picture of this theater before manteo went crazy and went all colonial, I wish I could find it. It was neat it had a marquee and a ticket booth. I will look for it then see if I can get permission to post it.

Mike,

You are truely clueless. The William C. Cline you refer to was a movie booker that we used for many many years. After his untimely, and unexpected death, we found out he had been booking movies with the studios at one percentage, and charging us a different higher percentage in addition to his booking fee……. ie skimming…….For many many years he portrayed himself.if you want the true history of the pioneer theater come to Manteo, NC and I will fill you in, show you a movie house like you have never seen, and embarrass you regarding your arrogant ignorance regarding this theater, it’s history, and the movie industry in general. I am a 4th generation owner operator, and know things about which you speak that you have no idea of. If you want to come visit and become enlightened email me and we can talk some real truths. Until then speak of that which you know, no more and no less. A man who speaks of what he has heard is ignorant….no more….no less…..Buddy, Herbert A Creef III

I see that someone by the name of Buddy Creef added this theatre…thanks. Herbert A. Creef Jr. and my father had something in common…..they both owned a fuel oil business.

In William C.Cline’s book about the theatre business in the Carolinas.“STROKE OF FORTUNE'he writes about the theatre once called THE YE OLDE PIONEER THEATRE.Cline writes."when the family passed the Pioneer Theatre on to Herbert A Creef Jr. He wanted no part of the theatre business. Creef Jr, had already owned a local hotel and a fuel oil business and wanted no part of running a theatre”.Cline writes that he met with Creef Jr. and told him he {Cline} would help him learn the ropes.Creef Jr,said “Go ahead,I don’t have anything to Lose”.You guys can thank the Late William C.Cline for the advice and encouragement to keep it still a family theatre.
