Yes, but none of the theater or area where he lived in Wendell. I have several portraits, but none during the era he owned the theater. Should I post them?

I went to this theater from the time it ran B horror movies during Saturday matinees in the 50s when I was in grade school until seeing “Juliet of the Spirits” during a weeknight when I was in high school. “The Monster that Challenged the Earth” and “The Incredible Shrinking Man” gave me chills for a long time.

My great-grand uncle became partner to R M Stanton, who managed the theater, sometime after 1920. In May 1922 he wrote “…the picture show house is a losing game since the War. Hope to sell out this next Fall. Think we would have sold out last Fall, but the Wendell Bank went ‘Broke’.” In November 1925 he wrote that they sold “our picture house here in Wendell” in August 1925.
