| 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. |
