The September 1, 1928 issue of Motion Picture News had this item about the demise of the Hollywood Theatre:
Aurora Democrat, August 31, 1928: “The Hollywood Theatre has been purchased by E. K. Menagh, of Fort Lupton. Mr, Menagh has had twelve years successful experience in the theatre business and is owner of the Star at Fort Lupton, as well as of the Hollywood, which he plans to re-decorate and upon re-opening the name of Aurora’s show house will be changed to the Parrot.”
Not sure if Mr. Menagh went through with his plans. The Parrot Theatre never made it into any editions of Film Daily Yearbook.
The Parrot really existed, if not for very long, according to more issues of the Aurora Democrat.
On Sept. 14, 1928, it ran a schedule of movies beginning Saturday, Sept. 15. “Under new management the old Hollywood, now known as the Parrot, will make earnest effort to give Aurora a picture show that we can all be proud of. Only the best pictures will be shown and every effort will be made to please you. Let’s all go!”
Sept. 21, 1928: “The Parrot Theatre, which has been artistically re-decorated, promises to be an attraction to Aurora’s movie fans this season. The new management are showing the best pictures obtainable, and with good music and comfortable seats, an evening at the Parrot is an evening of real enjoyment.”
Sept. 28, 1928: Ainslie R. Davis was appointed manager.
Oct. 11, 1929: The Women’s Library Club put on a play at the Parrot on Oct. 8.
Jan. 1, 1932: “The building formerly occupied by the Parrot theatre at Emporia and Colfax is being remodeled into a store building.”
