Under the marquee of the Auburn Schine Theater in Auburn, NY. The theater opened in 1938, stopped showing movies in 1979, was a nightclub for a few years, and was a video store from 1984-1996. The theater was owned by the Cayuga County Arts Council for twenty years, during which time they struggled to get sufficient funds to restore the building. In 2019 they sold the building to developer Bryan Bowers, who has worked with the city to get funds to restore the building. The colorful paint is part of that restoration.
The Auburn Citizen newspaper has lots of photos of the interior in a story about the 2019 sale but note that their website is obnoxious with ads.
Marquee for the Coudersport Theatre, a theater with an interesting history, in Coudersport, Pennsylvania.
I was in downtown Detroit tonight with my wife and daughter, and was absolutely thrilled to see information about my upcoming photography show displayed on the Fox Theater Marquee. What a nice surprise!
It is now just a week away, so I thought I would share this picture in case you want to come out and see my work, along with the work of four other excellent artists:
StudioOneEleven / Laura Breisch
It's just a hobby / Charles Dodds
If you can make it, we would all love to see you.

THE HISTORIC BARONET THEATRE
The historic Baronet Theatre, originally the Ocean Theatre built in 1913, on Fourth Avenue in Asbury Park had its last curtain call on Wednesday, Sept. 22, as wrecking crews razed the theatre because of safety concerns.
City fire and code officials said the theatre’s roof had col¬lapsed and that the exterior walls were cracking, buckling, and in danger of collapse.
City officials determined the theatre was an eminent safety hazard and issued the order to have it razed. Of¬ficials said the structure had gone beyond the point where any repairs could have remedied the structural problems.
Several workers for the waterfront redeveloper, Asbury Partners, removed four old movie projectors from the small upper projectionist’s loft at the theatre. The workers also saved the original marquee and some reels of film.
The projectors were so heavy they needed to be removed using some of the wrecking equipment.
Asbury Park historian Helen Pike said she never thought that many of the Asbury Park images in her book “Asbury Park’s Glory Days” would be vanishing at such an alarm¬ing rate.
“Never did I imagine my book would become a photo¬graphic archive of the city’s lost architectural touchstones. Once the Fast Lane and Asbury Lanes go, that side of Fourth Avenue will be a canvas as blank as in the days of founder James A. Bradley.
“My fervent hope is that whatever comes next is as iconic and as culturally valuable to the greater Asbury Park community as what’s been lost,” she said.
The art-deco-style Baronet Theatre, at 205 Fourth Avenue, opened in 1913 as the Ocean Theatre and was owned by Harry Rockefeller.
It was purchased and renovated by local theatre mo¬gul Walter Reade in 1953 and the current marquee on the theatre is from Reade’s New York City theatre of the same name, once on 57 Street. Reade moved the original New York City marquee to Asbury Park when he sold the theatre.
The theatre seated 546 in recliner seats and had a stage with proscenium arch.
The Baronet was one of only a few hundred single-screen theatres remaining in the country. The only other similar theatre in this area is the Bradley Beach Cinema.
Walter Burns and Maurice Roberson purchased the theatre in 1986 and tried to restore and reopen it. Asbury Partners purchased the old theatre three years ago.
Historic theater, opened in 1914 as the Palace. The Palace was remodeled in the 1930s and renamed the State Theater. In the 1970s the theater was closed, reopened in 1982, and has been open ever since. Tupper Lake, New York.
The Vogue Theatre is crafted in the Art Deco style, emphasizing sleek lines and fluid contours. It has symmetrical façades, constructed in a mixture of textured concrete and terrazzo panels with wrought-iron screens. One of the defining features of Vogue is its large neon sign which is topped by silhouette of the Roman Goddess Diana

Here's the marquee topper that was in one of the cabs... game is Danchi de Hanafuda: Okusan Komeya Desu yo!, released by Altron in 1999.
Matt and I went to see The Savages on Friday night at one of our favorite community movie houses, the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline MA. My friend Joe Zina and his whole panoply of excellent staff and creative volunteers run one of the most exciting community spaces in the area, with a restored full sized house, a 250 seat theatre, the 30-ish seat screening room, and the 8 or 10 seat "mini-max". Lets them show everything from first run to art house flicks to completely outre fare. I love the place. A few years back they found (read worked hard for) funding to restore many of the interior details, and they installed this fabulous kick-ass neon marquee.

Not a picture by me, but of me, changing the marquee of an old movie theater, downtown LA, around 1980. The Vagabond (now The Hayworth) near Macarthur Park. There was a Mexican restaurant next store, for tourists, so there would be groups of Japanese visitors standing around watching me.
I have been going through my CA album here, realizing how poorly I scanned my negatives years ago, so I'm tweaking them a bit. There's a photo in there of the side of the theater too, but I thought this was a good addition, for the "old days"
now moved inside, this former majestic theater marquee continues to deteriorate with peeling paint, bent metal and warped wood. It must have been quite the sight all lit up when the theater was still in use.
YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.
