Thank you for the update. When I went for the photo shoot I got a plethora of accounts as to which cinema was what and couldn’t make an exact determination.
The only other theatres from this period that I know of in Rosenburg were the Liberty (circa 1930)and the State (circa 1940). I don’t know the street address of either theatre.
Good question as to what constitutes a classic and as with all other forms of art, the standards are subjective. This is not to give credence to the architectural design of the Millertown or to disparage the works of Rapp & Rapp. Evidence by your excellent report on the Millertown, such a venue might be worthy of being defined as an odd treasure.
Thanks for bringing this topic to the forum.
The theatre is now the Souls Harbor Pentecostal Church located at 300 College St South in Trenton. The Star was once part of the Strand Enterprises, Inc circuit.
CORRECTION: The photos mentioned above are of the Cineworld Fulham, not the Hammersmith or the Apollo. My apologies for the mishap. I am new to the old world and am just getting my stride here.
Here is a photo from somewhere in Tennessee of a Hunter and Smith Furniture Company. It looks very much like a former theatre to me. Don’t know the city in which this photo was made though.
My apologies for not responding earlier, but I didn’t get a note that someone had responded to this page. You can reach me via my flickr website. Although I can’t find my notes on the Lyne, I am almost certain that this information came from a Knoxville city directory circa 1911-1913.
Here are a few photos of the Apollo Theater from July 2006. Although all of the trappings of the original auditorium have been scrapped, you can still some of the balcony molding in cinemas four and five. Cinema six is built on what I believe was the former backstage area. Both the theatre exterior and lobby are beautiful and the staff is very courteous.
Preach it Girl! If this city can afford to shelf out the bucks to buy a Pizza Hut and a country club and convert them into historic parks it has more than enough reserve to at lease give the theatre a tax break.
Here are a few summer 2006 photos of the Bibb. It appeared at the time that some work was being done on the interior, but was unable to locate anyone with any knowledge of the building’s current status.
One and the same. The North Glynn is the de facto address in case this shopping centre should ever change names. Here is a 2006 photo of this film forum.
Here are a couple of photos from July 2006 of the Princess. Although I wasn’t able to get a view of the interior, the restoration appears to be going quite well. Does anyone know anything about the Opera House located just across the street from the Princess?
Here are a couple of recent photos of the Capitol Theatre. The Capitol is among the finest midsize theatres in the country. Well worth the trip from Atlanta or anywhere else in the northern hemisphere.
WHAT!!! This can not be! What is going to become of the theatre? Are any other of the Lefont theatre’s on the brink?
Here are a couple of recent photos of the former Watson Glen Cinema.
The building at 133 South Central Avenue was built around 1900. No doubt it is the Dixie.

Here are some great shots of the Alabama when it was in it’s prime. Let’s hope that Houston does not lose this or the River Oaks.
Here are some classic shots of both the interior and exterior of the Delman. Wasn’t this theatre just up from the Garden District?
