Shelton History Center shares info about former Shelton Theatre

The donor of the Dish Night set from the Shelton Theatre (see today's previous post) also recalls there was a bowling alley in the basement of the theater and you could hear the pins being knocked down as you watched a movie. 
This flyer from the Shelton Theatre is from 1938.

And below is Tuesday's post on the Shelton History Center page that depicts the Shelton Theatre, 509 Howe Ave., as it looked in 1941.

The Shelton Theatre showed movies on Howe Avenue from 1915 to the 1970s. The building is still standing and is now a dance studio. This photograph shows the theater in 1941.


*Thanks go to the Shelton History Center for sharing interesting local history.

Quick captures through the glass door this morning. I guess he (she?) likes whole grain bread.
Have a great Thursday! Stay safe. 

Shelton History Center shares slice of 'Dish Night' nostalgia

Shelton Historical Society photo

Dish Night was a promotion started by movie theaters during the Great Depression of the 1930s to encourage people to come to the movies on a regular basis. 
This collection of dinnerware was assembled during the 1940s when Dish Night was held at the Shelton Theater on Mondays and admission was 25 cents. The dishes were free with admission but you didn't know what piece you would receive until you got there. 
These dishes were made by the Harker Pottery Company and the pattern is called Corinthian. The dishes were used in Shelton for almost 50 years before being donated.
