The New Windsor Theatre was opened by Latchis Theatres on November 1, 1936. By 1950 it was known as the Windsor Theatre and was still open in 1957 when it was part of the Affiliated Theatres circuit. It was a little movie theatre in a small Vermont town. It was closed in 1962.

The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Windsor Theatre; it’s Card #598. Address is Main St. There is an exterior photo dated April 1941. Condition is Good. The report says it opened in 1935 and was showing MGM films. There were 400 seats. 1940 population was 3,400.
I believe that later the Windsor became part of the Affiliated Theatres circuit of Boston.
The Latchis chain opened the Windsor Theatre’s doors on November 1, 1936 with Clark Gable in “Cain And Mabel” (unknown if extras added), and was first managed by Charles Ross who also operated the Strand Theatre there as well.
Some original installations featured in the Windsor Theatre include blue and gold colored walls with golden draperies and stuccos, a blue-painted ceiling, RCA sound, French-styled entrance doors, a fireproof projection booth, and a balcony containing two combination seats.
The Windsor Theatre closed in 1962.
