General Information:

Update Feb 12, 2024: I found an old ad for another theater in Pinconning called the Dreamland. I assume it was the same theater for now.

This theater, which opened in the late-1930’s, was destroyed in a fire in 1988 along with a bowling alley next-door.

Whyte Theatre burnt to the ground in the late 80s. Also lost in the fire was the bowling alley next door. The last films to play at the Whyte were Pee Wees Big Top and Bambi.
