Ludlow Cinema marquee spotted in the final scenes of Jeff Nichols' THE BIKERIDERS (shot almost entirely in the Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Middletown areas), with a bearded Norman Reedus on a motorbike enticing patrons into seeing EASY RIDER.
At one time the Ludlow had a 4-channel quadrophonic magnetic stereo capability, which was later transplanted to the Cinema West theatre in Hamilton in 1975.
Reopened as the Ludlow Cinema on July 2nd, 1969 and switched to an adult policy on January 15th, 1970. 1969 ad posted.

Visiting Grandpa’s old theater. Sitting at Bircus bar thinking about how he must have loved seeing all of this go up. Love that it’s become something fun.
Lou Wiethe and Harry Hilling opened their Ludlow Theatreon Jan. 4. 1947. Architectural sketch in photos.
Former Ludlow Theatre will become Bircus Brewing Company in 2015 ,it’s to have a circus theme and include acts, plus beer within the building .
James M and Janet A Rohan owned and operated the Ludlow Show as it was called then. I think that they owned the theater from the late 1970’s to the mid 1980’s. At the time the theater was open Friday Saturday and Sunday’s only. All seats were $1.00. The theater had 725 seats in the first floor with a private 16mm 35 seat theater on the second floor.
