Jack Noonan, the town administrator, ran the theatre and Bill Bornyk who managed the Builders Hardware Store was the regular projectionist. It seems everyone did more than one thing to make a living back then. I worked at the theatre with Jack’s son John, who was a friend of mine, and often his daughter Noreen. John and I made and sold popcorn, took tickets at the door and refilled the Coke machine once the movie started. Then we swept or mopped up after the show was over and closed things up. Noreen and sometimes Jack were the ticket sellers. The theatre was later owned by Harry and Gladys Bubel who added a fantastic candy counter to the lobby which sold many exotic items like 3/4” thick peppermint sticks. The Bubel’s also built the Corolon Drive In, “Coro” for Coronation and “lon” from Avalon.<br /><br />It was great to see your picture of the Avalon but it was sad to see it’s original Art Deco double doors had been replaced. The originals had a big circle of glass in the upper 2/3rds of the doors with half of the circle in each door. In front of the glass each door had 3 chrome bars on about a 30 degree angle sloping up towards where the doors met in the middle. They created a very Art Deco Sergeants stripe kind of chevron. Very classy against the light of the lobby shining out over them through that large circle of glass. I always admired the Avalon Theatre’s architecture and sometimes wonder if that played a part in my becoming a designer as a career.Richard Simsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312830679861476862.post-3733815421357827192022-08-02T08:45:05.687-07:002022-08-02T08:45:05.687-07:00I’ve lived in Coronation my whole life & had n...I’ve lived in Coronation my whole life & had no idea about this!!
