finished in the early 1900’s and opened by 1930. Later other movie
theatre construction took off, leading citizen’s into a world of
escape. Today, the movie theatre is still enjoyed by many around the

Paramount:
The Paramount movie theatre was opened in the 1930s. In 91’, the
Paramount was no longer a movie theatre; rather it is a place for
performing arts.
Ruffin
The Ruffin movie theatre, built in 1936 offered live movie theatre
shows and is currently a Halloween setting.
Carroll Theatre
The Carroll Theatre built in the 30s also, but today the movie
theatre is provides a source for movie watching and performing arts.
In the early 20s, the movie theatre attracted a lot of attention.
While most movie theatre, buildings were constructed during the
Great Depression, the Art Decoration became a hot item during the
mid-40s. In the early 40s, movie theatre attendance dropped
dramatically. Soon after the television was created, during the
early 70s, multiplexes and VCR Players were created. Today the Big
Screen televisions have added another dent in the traditional movie
theatre world. Still the revolutionary in-home movie theatre world
is evolving, taking off like never before. Netflix, Blockbuster
Video, and others offer an in-home delivery service that has added
yet another dent in the movie theatre business industry. And still,
new creations are evolving every day.......
