In 1950’s – FDA also listed two
other Berlin Theatres – New Theatre & Rex Theatre.
Said to be on Main Street – Perhaps
across the street from a car dealership . The New was to
have seated 227 and the Rex was to seat 1200 (?). I have a
feeling the information or atleast the seating of the Rex
was a typo on the FDA ( Film Daily Almanac ) but we
mentioned it just in case.

Checking old
insurance maps, we found references to a second theatre
along Main Street in Berlin. If we did our building count
right, it would have been the building seen above which
would have been the New or Rex Theatre in Berlin. Still
digging..........
