Kingston Theatre

According to the “Wilkes Barre Record,” the Kingston Theatre opened on June 9, 1925. After “first run” showings across the river in Wilkes Barre, PA movies would move to Pittston, PA for a week and then to the Kingston, which was always the premiere showcase for the west (suburban) side of the Susquehanna River. After the run at the Kingston, movies would then play the Forty Fort, Luzerne and other small town west side theaters.
