Is the Franklin Cinema listed on CT? Thanks for this Franklin information as the town sounds like a must-see when in the Nashville area. In fact, I think my girlfriend’s daughter goes to church in Franklin TN.
My interest was prompted with the demolition in 1992 of my hometown theatre, the Grand in Westfield NY which is listed on CT, btw. I acquired the theatre ‘bug’ soon after finding CT and becoming a member! And I don’t think there is a cure for it! The only downside is reading about so many theatres that have been demolished in the name of urban renewal!
M Horner: I’m in western NYS at the moment, but will be in NC for 3 months after the holidays so have a variety of theatre choices along with some traveling to see and tour theatres of interest outside those area such as Eberson/atmospheric…visited the Palace in Canton Ohio and received a wonderful ‘atmospheric’ tour thanks to Rob Sees. Are you familiar with a publication called Marquee through THSA (Theatre Historical Society of America)?
M Horner: Thanks for your Nashville philosophy. I may be in “one of the richest cities in this country” this winter" and just wondered if I should be directed to anything special other than Opryland, etc. though I’m not a fan of country music and it’s all about country music in that city!
M Horner: Thanks for the present Nashville theatre scene update. Is there at least one movie palace still standing and in some sort of restoration phase? I think I know the answer to this question and recall someone saying….“If you don’t want to know the answer…don’t ask the question!”
Sad to read that this Eberson art deco Warner was converted into a multiplex venue. I hope that the community has or will band together to bring back this important theatre that is connected with the famous theatre name of EBERSON! BTW, I didn’t get a chance to visit this theatre, in person last spring, but hope to in the near future!
Interesting to read about the former Knickerbocker Theatre in Nashville, but much more sad to read that none of the movie palaces of yesterday still exist today in this southern city!
Richard G: I’ve been trying to acquire information about the art deco Seneca Theatre in Salamanca NY. The architects in 1942 were John AND Drew Eberson!
On Cinema Tour there is an art deco Seneca Theatre in Salamanca NY. The architects were John AND Drew Eberson! If anyone has additional information and/or photos, please add that western NYS theatre.
Over the past several weeks I have found Cinema Treasures to be very slow so hopefully your scheduled maintenance will help correct this problem. See you on Monday.
I’ve just been told that in Cattaraugus New York there was a Cattaraugus Theatre. This theatre is listed on Cinema Tour as being closed. Does anyone have any additional information?
On Cinema Tour there is a Franklin Theatre in Grand Rapids, MI. Anyone have information about this one?
Lost Memory: Couldn’t bring up your photo site posted 11/2/05.
M Horner: Thanks for the great Knickerbocker Theatre memorabilia website!

Warren: Thanks for this information as I was aware of this being the case. I plan to join THSA in the near future and receive Marquee issues.
This theatre being a church now would certainly give one a different perspective and certainly a different theatre experience.
Marquee is available through becoming a member of THSA. The website is http://www2.hawaii.edu/~angell/thsa/welcome2.html

Yes, an ‘update’ on the Tennessee would be great as I hope to visit that theatre in Knoxville this winter enroute to Nashville to see friends.

After viewing the photos and seeing the RKO Palace marquee can anyone tell me if the marquee still looks the same?
I’ve just been told that in Cattaraugus New York there was a Cattaraugus Theatre. This theatre is listed on Cinema Tour as being closed. Does anyone have any additional information?
On Cinema Tour there is a Strand in Wichita Falls TX that is listed as closed. Does anyone have any information?
If someone does, please add that Strand to Cinema Treasures.
Still wondering if anyone has photo(s)and/or information on the Strand that was in Seneca Falls NY?
michael: Thanks so much for this Ithaca info!
John: Interesting Elvis post! And we all now know where their Mighty Wurlitzer organ calls home today!
