Remember the Delmar Drive-In?

Historic Theaters of Delaware author Michael Nazarewycz presents content from his book on Wednesday, May 1, at 6 pm. From the opera house and movie palace to the modern multiplex, and from Claymont to Delmar and everywhere in between, the big screen in Delaware is more than a century old. Hollywood legend Cary Grant visited the Playhouse Theater in 1955, fondly recalling his days on its stage as a child actor. Clint Eastwood came to Wilmington for a secret test screening of his film The Gauntlet at the Branmar Cinema. The groundbreaking history of Star Wars includes a Delaware theater that was one of only forty-five in the country to open the film. Author Michael J. Nazarewycz recounts the cinematic history of Delaware's movie theaters. Books will be available for purchase after the program.
