The Falls Theater was opened on October 24, 1937 with the Ritz Brothers in “Life Begins in College” . Along with the town’s Avalon Theater, the Falls Theater was operated by the Home Theater Corp. in the 1960’s. It was twinned in 1975, and renamed the Falls Twin Theatre. It has since closed, and is used as offices with an ugly new facade.
