I was just in Cooperstown this week. They hardly roll up the sidewalks. Up until 9:00 p.m. and even later most of the stores were still open and there were people all over downtown. The theatre looks great on the outside, but has been gutted on the inside. The auditorium is a baseball memorabilia shop and the stage house is apartments. The proscenium visible inside the back room is the only interior remnant of the theatre.
That photo is of the Regent Theatre at 109 East Water Street in Elmira. It was not called “Photo Plays”. That sign tells you what goes on in the building. See http://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/25104.html for a different view.
Yes it says its “moving”, but in reality its going to take up 5 of the 17 screens at the Bow Tie complex across town. How long do you think it will be until those screens get converted back to mainstream fare?
Name has been changed to Ford Drive-In it seems, dropping the Wyoming part now that those screens are gone. Website URL is now http://www.forddrivein.com/
This drive-in will reopen on June 26, 2010 as a single screen venue run by the town. Capacity will be 300 cars and it will show movies on Saturday nights through the summer.
I’d thought this was never a movie theatre. However at http://www.theatrebythesea.com/History.aspx it states: “By 1941, with the war raging and gas rationing in place, the theatre went dark for a few years, but then sporadically played as a movie house.”
Just about any city in Connecticut could use a cinema drafthouse. The only towns in CT with cinemas with dining are Canaan and Winsted which are both in the rural northwest corner. New Britain is probably the largest city in Connecticut with no movie theatre of its own.

The theatre closed in 2006.
I’ve never heard of any Mohawk Theatre in Greenfield. There was a Mohawk in North Adams.
February 30?

I can’t find anything about this theatre being renovated like it says up top. Anyone know anything?

Looking at Bing Maps for 1831 Atlantic this appears to be gone. Only some newer buildings and vacant lots are on that block.
Looking a the bird’s eye view from Bing that’s definitely a theatre building there. The status of this one should be changed to “Closed.”
They are all now converted to other purposes. See my photos of some of them at http://www.cinematour.com/theatres/us/CT/6.html .
I think this theatre is the same as the auditorium.

Was this also known as the Bijou for a while?
Correct address is 82 W State St.
Lost: read that sign closer. It says “Balcony Hair Design Studio.”
The website no longer works.
