.......Photo taken back in 1967, from the lot of what was once the Stanley Theatre.  Looking across the lot , the Little Theatre and the other buildings ,all  of which have since been torn down.  From what I can figure out, Western High School used the Stanley Theatre for school events in later years and when the theatre was torn down, they weren't happy at all to see the old theatre come down....

Above, two more photographs from the 1967 Western High School Yearbook.  Western had one of those yearbooks that you could find all sorts of neat period pictures in , as students traveled all over the City getting shots. At the time, the High School was located in the old City College Building on Centre Street, right across the street.

   The Little Theatre was the small movie house right across the street from the much larger Mayfair and Stanley Theatres. The theater opened in the 1920's, and continued to show movies into the 1980's, although in later years it showed X rated films, and was known as the Little X Theatre. The Little was one of those downtown movie houses you could easily forget, blocks north of downtown, and sadly the entire block has been razed for a parking lot. Only the Mayfair across the street still stands out of all the theatres that once graced ths area, although even the fate of the old Mayfair looks bleak.
