Three References have been found for
Taneytown,the first being the New Theatre in the
late 1920's, the second being the Shriner,
listed from 1931 to 1945 , seating between 200 and
215. Later years ( the early 1950's ) the Taneytown
Theatre is listed seating 240. It is possible the
two are one and the same..
While researching the old theatre, we found a copy
of the Taneytown " Carroll Record " for 1927. It
actually brought forth more questions than answers (
isn't that always the case ). First, we found ads
for the New Theatre, which appears to have been in
Taneytown, one we had not heard of before. Another
name for the town theatre in the late 1920's, or
perhaps an ad posted for the New Theatre in nearby
Manchester. ( We're not sure yet, but we'll let you
know ) . We also found an ad for the Birnie Opera
House, which was in Taneytown, atleast in 1927 . Ads
can be found below........
