The Somerville Theatre in Somerville, MA is an old classic theatre with a brightly lit neon facade. See this theatre and more neon treasures at Roadside Peek's Neon Theatres East.
Welcome to the Kallet Theatre of Oneida, NY. This theatre looks to be in fine shape with eye-catching colors.
The Colonial Theatre features a wonderful theatre entrance that still stands but no longer draws crowds to it's matinees. Unusual for the era is the neo-classical architecture rather than art deco.
In Norwich, NY we find a delightful old theatre, the Colonia. The individual bulbs flash in a dance of light when the sun sets. Local farmers lament the lack of precipitation with the message on the marquee.
The Warner Theatre in Torrington, CT features an asymmetrical art deco theatre facade, a rare sight indeed. This is an exception to the art deco norm of structure and balance and reflects back to the golden age of skyscrapers.
The Paramount Theatre in Staten Island, NY sits closed and forlorn as it awaits its fate. This deco palace apparently closed in the 1970's.
Unfortunately, it appears that the State Theatre is no longer shows first-run movies.
Yes, despite years of capturing imaginations and hearts of theatre goers, these grand movie palaces fall victim to time and age, and the East is no exception. Here in Ashland, Virginia, the Rose Bowl (not the football stadium in Pasadena, California) runs vacant, hence the "for rent" sign. Yes, Another vintage theatre's projector has beamed its last show.
