Leader Theatre
212 1/2 Virginia Avenue
Cumberland,  Maryland

     
     From what I can tell, the old Leader Theatre is no longer standing. Using the New Theatre as a reference point, it appears the empty lot next to the boarded up old hall is just about where the Leader would have been. There were actually three theatres, over the years, in this block of South Cumberland, the Leader, Lloyd and New. Several nickelodeons were also located on Virginia Avenue in South Cumberland in the early movie days a few blocks South.

 The Leader was one of  ten theatre names that I have found for Cumberland. The listings I found for the theatre were listed in the 1930's showing a seating of 300 -  400.
Other Cumberland theatres included the Capitol, Embassy , Garden, Lloyd, Liberty , Maryland, New, Strand, and Howard.
