Shopping Center

Solomon's Island , Maryland

..

The history of movies, according to the Film Daily , on Solomon's Island, goes something like this.......

.

.

    In 1931, movies were seen in the Town Hall, which seated about 200.
    By 1938, the Evans ( above )  was listed for that year, seating 250, and the Evans survived until about 1945. The building the Evans had been in apparently is still standing, but greatly altered and is used as a restaurant today .
    Also starting a listing in 1938 was the Parish Hall, which showed movies until about 1952. In 1952, the New was listed , seating about 200, as was the D&L ( D&L Shopping Center ), seating 340.  The D&L Shopping Center was a little north of the island, and from what we understand, no longer stands. There has been a lot of development in this area in recent years.
