Extractions: Staff Writer New Smyrna Beach, Feb 23, 2001 Make sure you go see "The 1940s Radio Hour," which opened last weekend at the Little Theatre of New Smyrna Beach. It is a delightful production. This toe-tapping musical by Walton Jones is a behind-the-scenes look at a live broadcast of Radio Station WOV's "The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade" from the Hotel Astor's Algonquin Room in New York City on Dec. 21, 1942. Because it is a live radio simulation, there is no intermission during the performance, but believe me, you won't miss it. This talented ensemble cast does a terrific job creating the spirit of that by-gone era when the world was at war, and songs such as "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy" and "I'll Be Seeing You" were popular. The production opens with "Pops Bailey," played by Stan Sanders, sleeping at his desk. He does a great job as the crusty, crotchety stage doorman, who is a bookie on the side.

Seating Charts STATE THEATRE HISTORY The historic State Theatre is a magnificently renovated 1921 vaudeville and silent film palace that is today a premier center for the performing arts. The State Theatre offers something for everyone including: international orchestras, soulful jazz, Broadway musicals, world-class dance, stand-up comedy, nostalgic big bands, glorious opera, children's events, educational programs, world music and more. The long and colorful story of the State Theatre begins at the dawn of the roaring 20s ... On Monday afternoon at two-thirty I will have both the honor and pleasure of presenting to the citizens of the City of New Brunswick and surrounding territory what I consider the finest theatre in the State. So declared theater manager Walter Reade in a quarter-page announcement in the Daily Home News of December 20, 1921, as he proudly launched the State Theatre into the cultural life of central New Jersey. Designed by noted theater architect Thomas W. Lamb to offer both movies and live entertainment, "Reade's State Theatre" was one of the biggest, most lavish and modern theaters in the region. The opening matinee audience, who willingly paid the twenty-, thirty-, and fifty-cent admission, was treated to a live orchestra concert and a tenor rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner." The first feature presentation was the silent film White Oak, a western melodrama starring stone-faced cowboy hero William S. Hart. Also on the bill were five vaudeville acts, a newsreel and a nature film. The State was the "class act in town," with its opulent decor, splendid acoustics, and delightful mix of cinematic and live attractions.

http://www.hersheyarchives.org/part1/hertheatre/hertha.html

Extractions: The Hershey Theatre owes its existence to entrepreneur and philanthropist Milton S. Hershey. Milton Hershey realized the importance of providing opportunities for recreation and entertainment for his workers and residents of the community he had created. One of his earliest dreams was the construction of a community building, housing a large, well-equipped legitimate theatre, built for the benefit of the people in the area; indeed, when he first planned the town in 1903, he reportedly incorporated such a structure in the initial plans. Henry Hershey, Milton's father, was as much a visionary as his son. He supposedly told school students in the Greiner School House (replaced in 1906 by the two story, limestone McKinley building) that someday his son would build a large community building on the very site on which they stood. Milton's father, who died in 1904, never saw the dream reach fruition, though he clearly foresaw it. As early as 1915, Milton Hershey possessed architect's drawings for the construction of a community building, but the arrival of World War I overclouded any such construction venture. As Mr. Hershey tightened his belt, the architect's plans were put away and virtually forgotten. The Hershey Community Building and Theatre, originally planned for construction in 1916, would not be constructed until 1929. The Community Building and Theatre were constructed during the Great Depression as part of Hershey's great building campaign. The Community Building and Theatre were built following the original 1916 plans drawn by C. Emlen Urban, a noted Lancaster, PA architect, with construction under the supervision of D. Paul Witmer. When completed, the building solidly stood in the center of town, spanning the block between Chocolate and Caracas Avenues, and bordered by Cocoa Avenue. It occupied sites once owned by Milton Hershey's mother and the McKinley School.

http://www.fargotheatre.org/history.html

Extractions: On September 15, 1925, the T.F. Powers and Company construction firm began work on the Fargo Theatre at 314 Broadway, formerly the site of a fruit store known as the Idlekope Building. At a total cost of $350,000 for land, building improvements, and equipment, it took six months for completion. Henry Orth, of the architectural firm Buechner and Orth, designed the Theatre in the Baroque or Renaissance Revival style. The front facade of the building was clad in red brick and sat on a base of limestone. Entrance doors and a box office occupied the center at street level, and were flanked by a small storefront shop and a pair of exit door on each side. Above the exits, stone consoles visually supported cornices, each of which were terminated at the top with a decorative cartouch. The second level featured large windows, topped by arched stone hood moldings. Protruding from the wall between the arches were stone faces with grotesque expressions, their mouths open to accept the hanger rods of the marquee. Directly above, stone dentil work formed a decorative building cornice. Inside, a central lobby opened to a mezzanine level richly adorned with colored mirrors, a large crystal chandelier, and numerous art panels. The auditorium was furnished with seats of Spanish leather and seated 1300 patrons on the main level and in a balcony.

http://www.historicwaynetheatre.com/history.html

Extractions: The Wayne Theatre is one of the few remaining vaudeville houses in Michigan. it's a true treasure. Help save it from the wrecking ball and preserve a part of our heritage for future generations. This is a story of a theatre that once was the talk of western Wayne County. Today' it's all but forgotten. The final chapter, however, is yet to be written. If a group of concerned citizens are successful, the story will tell of a theatre that literally returned from the grave to live again with laughter and applause. Back in 1926, when most of the area was rural farmland, when Michigan Avenue was the main highway between Detroit and Chicago and when the village of Wayne was the hub of activity, local businessmen built a theatre and hotel complex. It included five stores along Michigan Avenue and a bowling alley in the basement. The Wayne Theatre, by all accounts, was one of the most beautiful ever built in a small town. It seated 850 (650 on the main floor, 225 in the balcony ) and featured excellent acoustics, a full orchestra pit and a fly loft for stage curtains. Ads called it "The Pride of Wayne". They promised the latest in photo plays (that's what they called movies in those days) and the best in vaudeville on Saturday and Sunday. Opening night was August 27,1927. Newspaper articles tells of patrons lined up for more then a block when the when the doors opened at 6:30 p.m. a standing-room-only audience saw Marion Davis in "Tillie the Toiler," an our gang comedy, 'Yale vs. Harvard," a Paramount News short, and five vaudeville acts. The shows were a hit. Soon, it was the most popular Theatre in town. The Woodward Theatre Company, headed by Henry S. Koppin, operated the theatre. Koppin managed 26 Theatres in Michigan that were popularly known in the Midwest as the Koppin Vaudeville Circuit. Many big acts toured Detroit, such as Mickey Rooney and Fred Astaire, also played the Wayne. Special radio nights included a broadcast of Jack Dempsey - Gene Tunney fight. And radio station WJR regularly presented "The Oklahoma Cowboys" live from the stage.
