Marquee theater

Centre theater neon signage. A vintage movie marquee from an old folder of photos I came across. Don't know who took the pictures or remember where they came from, but they sure look nice.

A new marquee at the Carpenter Theater. This new marquee is a replica of the original, aside from the digital ticker line and the illuminated lettering. Originally this was traditional removable backlit letting. Here is a older photo of the theater that shows the ugly 1970s marquee. Originally, this theater was a Loew's movie palace.
