As far as I can tell, not
one of these theaters are still in business.
The
Palace was locate on Bream and Third Ave on the West Side.
Opened
in 1949 and closed in the early to mid 60s. It was also a
hall
for political rallys.
The
Frontier Drive In Theater was located on Rt 21 near the Edens
Fork entrance. It was in operation from 1954 until 1960.

The Sunset Theater
Notice that the WEST was going to be named "Sunset"
The
Sunset Theater was already in existence when this article appeared.
The NEW theater was to be called "The Sunset" also.
But
sometime during construction, the name was changed to The WEST Theater.
Notice also that the new WEST was fully decorated in the
"Sunset's" motif because it WAS going to be the Sunset
Theater.
When the WEST opened, the Sunset soon disappeared.
But
where was it?
The
Sunset building is still there today, and is on Washington
Street W, East of Stockton Street
MEANWHILE....
THE WEST IS
COMPLETED
And
below the theater was a bowling alley.
Can
you imagine? I went there several times.
Today
Here,
the Sunset congratulates the WEST on it's grand opening
Meanwhile, the
Sunset Theater had a real news-maker of it's own in 1938
