I wonder if it is near Penn-Lee Footwear. When I was younger my mom used to take me there to get all of my shoes growing up, and I remember there was a building nearby that resembled an old theater.  |

I believe the building your talking about is accross the street from St. Francis church. which is on the lower end of E. Thomas St. (off N. Washington St.) I went to elementary school on St. Clair St in the early 70's and it was closed up then, but I think you can still see the old front that you knew it was a theatre at one time. |

That is so cool. What is that building now? Looks like they covered up the entrance. Wonder what the inside looks like now? What a piece of history, hopefully it will be preserved. most kids today under the age of 15 don't even know what a silent film was....
