I was going through a 1968 Morgantown, WV newspaper, and found the “Art Cinema” listed in Point Marion showing adult films. I guess I assume it is this one as no address was given.

Nessa commented about Sheridan Square Theatre on Nov 1, 2019 at 5:15 pm

Was watching Season 2, Episode 12 of a show called “Salvage Dawgs.” They were taking down a theatrical facade and they said it was the facade of the former Sheridan Square theatre. They said they were in Ohio though. However, the facade appeared to be an old facade attached to a newer building. Was it the facade of this theatre? I couldn’t find any clearer information. (Or a clearer picture of the facade to verify)

An advertising booklet for Weston from the late 1940s says the Camden was showing movies daily, while the Hollywood had weekly specials.

The Avenue theatre appears in this wartime picture taken by my grandfather:

Oh, I should also mention that the “balcony-area” faces the front of the building, so perhaps it was a reverse type.

I went inside the Annabelle’s building on a recent visit to Loudon, and it has an unusual half-upstairs retail area that certainly could have been a balcony or projection booth, so I agree that it probably was the theatre.

I heard the theatre closed as a performance venue in January 2017, but I visited the town recently (April 2018) and men were working inside the theatre.

I’ve heard they’ve torn off the marquee.

This theatre also advertised “Free Baby Bottle Warming!” for busy parents on a movie date.

I’m sorry to say. but I think the drive-in has closed. Digital projector upgrade not possible, I guess?

This building is not demolished, it’s still standing. It was slated for demolition but is now likely to be preserved or at least mothballed.

The Art Deco Warner theatre in Morgantown, WV is still for sale. It is a college town with a very active downtown area.

I was there last week, and the Annex antique shop is moving out. The people working there didn’t know what will happen to the theatre building. It is pretty much still intact inside. Even the screen is still there, balcony and everything. I took lots of pictures, I’ll post them soon.

Anyway, the clock is ticking on this building and it will be demolished soon. I talked to some people and if ANYONE out there is interested in salvaging anything from this theatre, inside or outside, including the Vitrolite and marquee, PLEASE contact the Marion County, WV county commission ASAP, as they may be open to salvage possibilities.

Nessa commented about Fairmont Theater on Apr 26, 2011 at 2:26 pm

I was in this building today, via a friend who was able to obtain the key. In less than 4 years, things have really gone downhill.

The drop-ceiling is collapsing and water is dripping everywhere. It is a mess. The drop-ceiling collapse has revealed a hidden vintage mural (jungle-themed and beautiful.)

It was in the paper this week that they’re going to demolish it soon, but are putting out a commemorative Christmas Ornament memorializing it, which is hardly a worthy replacement, alas.
