Became the Towne Theatre in 1959 and later Towne Cinema by 1974.
So both should be added to Previous names.
Photos as both in Photos section.
Boxoffice, Jan. 14, 1950: Faced with the choice of a new name for the Telenews, Ross McCausland hit on Welton, the name of the street on which the theatre is located. The new name required only one new letter in the sign. The theatre now is first run"
