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.
