It appears the old Avalon Theatre is one of the survivors of old movie theaters in Maryland. The theatre opened in 1921, and a listing in 1951 showed the theatre seating 620, with only the New Easton as another theatre in town at that time.  The building has been turned into a Performing Arts Center, and the theatre has also shown the address of 35 Harrison as well. In earlier years, around the 1910, the town's theatre was the Pastime Theatre on Dover Street , which has long since closed.

   I actually found TWO early Dover Street theatres, trying to figure which is which. One was located at 316 Dover Street , over near Lane Street. That theatre, which appears to have been a nickelodeon, was torn down years ago. Across the street from the Talbot Bank was another early theatre, with the address of 15 Dover Street.
