The Carriage Square Trolley opened its doors on Trolley Theatres on May 25, 1979 with “The China Syndrome” in Screen 1 and Disney’s “Bedknobs And Broomsticks” in Screen 2. Plitt later took it over who suddenly closed the theater on January 22, 1987 with the double feature of “Children Of A Lesser God” and “Peggy Sue Got Married” in Screen 1 and “Mosquito Coast” in Screen 2, leaving the theater abandoned for a year-and-a-half.
It wasn’t until Cineplex Odeon stepped up to the plate and reopened the theater again on June 24, 1988, showing “Three Men And A Baby” in Screen 1 and “Biloxi Blues” in Screen 2 as a second-run discount house. This didn’t last long, and closed by Cineplex Odeon on November 3, 1988.
NOTE: This is NEVER operated by Loews nor Loews Cineplex. Loews Cineplex also didn’t exist at the time.
Opened in 1915 on site of a former armory store, once destroyed by an early morning fire on January 13, 1940 costing an estimate $50,000 in damages. Some other businesses also suffered damage, including serious damage to the roof of the Stunz Coal Company. It was originally scheduled to show the appropriate-titled “Money To Burn” that evening. It was rebuilt.
Opened on October 27, 1927 with Dolores Costello in “The College Widow” along with the Monty Banks short “Monty Of The Mounted”, a newsreel, several vaudeville performances (including Myers and Hanneford in “Go Yom Wong Troupe” and Harry Brenn in “The Garden Of Roses”), and a performance by Nat Martin and his band. An opening march and the Star-Spangled Banner was also presented before the action.
Opened with “The Valachi Papers” in Screen 1 and “Cabaret” in Screen 2. It was closed on September 27, 1987 with “Hamburger Hill” in Screen 1 and the double feature of “Adventures Of Babysitting” and “Robocop” in Screen 2, and the reason of closure is because of losing attendance because of the nearby Forestville Theaters which USA Cinemas opened it three months prior.
Closed on August 2, 1952 with “A Yank In Indo-China” and “Denver & Rio Grande” (unknown if extras added). The building was sold days later and was converted into Matthews TV & Appliances.

Actual opening date is February 16, 1949 with Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in “Words And Music” along with a few unnamed shorts. It closed in early-1981, but reopened in late-November 1983.
