The Fountain Hill Opera House opened its doors by manager E.L. Newhard on September 26, 1888 with a live presentation of “Martiana” by the New American Opera Company. A total of 100 residents (with a majority of them from Allentown) attended the opening ceremony. It was renamed the Globe Theatre following major remodeling, and reopened by the A.R. Boyd Amusement Company on August 22, 1930 with Frederic March in “Manslaughter” (unknown if extras added).
The actual closing date is March 24, 2000. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” was one of its last films played, but I cannot find the remaining final films being played.
