One thing I didn’t like about this theatre were its scratchy seats. I used to bring a light jacket to cover the seat even in hot weather because I was allergic to the seats!
It was the smallest of the three neighborhood theatres I frequented. It was also built on a angle to the street, now squared off like the others. Plus, there was no parking lot. Firehouse was next door where they issued driver’s licenses, and there were cemeteries across the street, as well as small shopping centers. I remember seeing “Bambi” and “Song of Bernadette” there.
I do remember the snowball stand across NY St. from the theatre. We went there often. Thanks for mentioning Parker Drugs. I was trying to remember the name of that drugstore not long ago. They had a great soda fountain.
This was my closest neighborhood theatre in 1950s and 1960s. Can’t tell you how many hours and how much money I spent there. So many fond memories. Also frequented the Tiger and the Fox. We went from attending with our parents, to attending the kiddie matinees, to going as teenagers, then going there on dates. We saw so many wonderful movies (and terrible movies, too) in those theatres.
The Pitt managers and workers were the best, always friendly and helpful. At the time, it still had only one screen but it was the best. In later years, live theatre performances were housed there.
