Great day to have been at The Grand Opening of The Queen Theater in Wilmington DE. I was impressed on the amount of people that showed up to support the Opening.

So if your ever in Wilmington DE stop bye The World Cafe Live at The Queen. Good music & good food...

Shooting at the QUEEN Theater








QUEEN Theater
The Queen Theater in Wilmington, Delaware was built in 1915 at a cost of $250,000. Seating on opening day is given as 2,000 seats. The Queen Theater closed in April of 1959. The last movie to play there was "House on Haunted Hill". As far as I know, the building still stands today.

This is a description of the interior given on a Delaware history site: "Its auditorium and balcony seated 2,000 people and was designed to offer a completely unobstructed view of the screen and stage. The lobby walls were decorated in Alaskan marble, the only such use of that material in the country.

Above the large stage was a mural representing 'Science' and on either side of the walls above the balcony were six different paintings representing themes such as 'Music', 'Sculpture', and 'Beauty'. A Japanese garden formed the backdrop for the stage".
