Found this on a Chatham Town Website. The Chatham Theater, as pictured, was not on Main Street, it was on a side street. I went there in the 1960’s once or twice.
19 Pruden Street (9/2006). The old Chatham Theatre, built during the 1940’s as a massive Quonset structure, is currently used by the Pittsylvania County government.
Dick Jones, who starred on “The Range Rider” and later “Buffalo Bill Jr.” was a kid actor who appeared in a ton of westerns with all the big stars. He told me that on Saturday, his mother would drop him off at the Hitching Post where he would spend the day watching cowboy movies. Sometimes he would spot himself in the movie. Was also the voice of Pinocchio in the Disney classic.
