This is the drive-in that Mr. and Mrs. Robert Freed launched after their indoor Valliant Theatre burned down in 1953. The Freed’s Drive-In launched on February 12, 1954 with Marilyn Monroe in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” (unknown if extras added), featuring 175 cars, Simplex projection, and RCA sound. It opened as the Valliant Drive-In but was later renamed the Freed’s Drive-In. During its opening week, it originally housed 100 cars but was immediately expanded to 175 afterward.
After closing for the 1958 season, the drive-in was relocated several miles north after new operators refreshed the venue. It reopened as the Little River Drive-In in March 1959, which already has a CT page.
Warner Bros Circuit opened the Vogue Theatre on May 29, 1947 with Ronald Reagan in “Stallion Road” along with a few unnamed shorts. It was later operated by Stanley-Warner.
Once operated by RKO, and later by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp., who took over the Allen Theatre on January 1, 1949. The Allen would then become a Stanley-Warner theater in 1953.
During the early-1930s, RKO briefly operated the Hippodrome until it was taken over by Warner Bros Circuit on November 19, 1933, reopening with the World Premiere of “The World Changes” starring Paul Muni. Warner Bros operated the Hippodrome until the early-1950s.
The Hippodrome closed on May 1, 1980 with “Sacrifice” and “Drum”.
The June 1961 remodeling also includes then-brand new installations of a Norelco Universal 35mm/70mm projection with Ashcraft Super Cinex lamps as well as a six-channel transistorized sound system and a 50ft Pearlite screen. All of these installations were all done by Stanley-Warner themselves who were the ones that reopened the Allen.
Opened with “The Dirty Dozen” plus Sea Ceaser appearing in-person. As a single-screener, it originally housed 1,100 seats featuring red carpeting and soft blue lights for the auditorium. It also featured a similar screen installation as the Perring Plaza Cinema in Parkville.
The York Road Cinema actually closed on October 21, 1993 with “In The Line Of Fire” in Screen 1 and “The Firm” in Screen 2.
This opened as the New Theatre as early as 1941. It was briefly renamed the Victory Theatre in 1943 and was renamed the Mansfield Theater around 1946. It was still open in 1978.
Also opened with Disney’s Donald Duck in “All In A Nutshell” featuring Chip and Dale. The traces were still visible throughout the 1980s, but trees overgrown it during the 1990s.
This most likely opened on December 5, 1975 with Rod Cameron in “The Steel Lady” along with a few unnamed cartoons. This started life as a classic movie house.
