you see an older postcard on EBAY these days for
Salisbury, it is very likely to be a shot (top)
which you see above of the Arcade Theatre. The
Arcade was listed in the Film Daily from the late
1920's to at least the mid 1950's, and seated
between 750 and 950 people. From what I understand,
the old theatre burned down many years ago. The
site, if I'm not mistaken, is now part of the local
television station. The bottom postcard is
of the same view, a few years later. I found that
postcard on
EBAY, but haven't seen it listed since. The Arcade
shows the name " Schine" on it in later years. Check
out our post on the Kilduffs.org Forum References - Film Daily Yearbook - 1926 ( seated 750 ) opened 6 days a week Film Daily Yearbook - 1927 ( seated 750 ) opened 6 days a week Film Daily Yearbook - 1928 ( seated 950 ) Film Daily Yearbook - 1936 ( seated 950 ) Film Daily Yearbook - 1943 ( seated 950 ) Film Daily Yearbook - 1950 ( seated 899 ) The Film Daily Yearbook and the insurance maps we found also list the following Salisbury Theatres / Opera Houses through the years : Boulevard at 317 East Main Street (Razed) Green & Brewington Moving Picture House - 211 Division Street ( Razed ) Later known as Auditorium New ( listed in 1939 - seating 450 ) Opera House - 104 Division Street ( 2nd Floor ) (Razed) Parson's Opera House - 30 Division Street ( listed in 1928 - seating 500 ) (Razed) Rio Ulman's - Grand Opera House ; 240/242 Main Street ( listed in 1939 - seating 600 ) Wicomico |
