| Theater names are as many names
that the theaters were known as through the years that I could find
listed. Movie Theaters tended to change names often, so you could open
the same theater under several names. If theatre name is in blue, link is active. If in orange, I'm still working on it. |
Addresses tend to change over
the years. In fact, street names may have changed as well. I have done
the best I can with street addresses, but you might find a completely
different street name or address if you search. |
| "Opened"
days are when there are
first year listed in the Film Daily Yearbook. "Closed" dates are when
they are no longer listed. In the 1950's, the Film Daily Yearbook
stopped listing individual theatres, so the dates are a bit vague. See
Dr. Headley's book "Exit" for exact dates. If the "Closed" date
is in red,
the building , or most of it has been razed since it was closed. |
