The Brownie Theatre opened as early as 1923 and was renamed the Milba Theatre in 1930. The Milba Theatre was renamed the Strand Theatre on April 2, 1947, reopening with Bing Crosby’s “Blue Skies” (unknown if extras added). The theater building as of 1947 measures 110x140ft and has a capacity of 550 seats.
The Strand Theatre closed for the final time on January 25, 1967 with Danny Thomas in the appropriate-titled “Don’t Worry, We’ll Think Of A Title”.
This originally housed 550 seats, but last operated with 450 seats.
