Can Wayne theater be saved? Plus, Berwyn murder update; ‘Choice’ Bryn Mawr BYOB; T/E redistricts; Meehan’s miseries; Eagles Superfans & more

January 25, 2018 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

For years, downtown Wayne’s movie theater has been slugging it out with the big boys: the Regals, the AMCs, the Movie Taverns, and, to a lesser degree, the Bryn Mawr Film Institute.

Slugging it out and, er, losing.

But the tide may turn yet.

Because dear old Anthony Wayne – built in 1928 and sagging with age – is making his last stand.

The theater’s operator, Reel Cinemas, just launched a “Save the Anthony Wayne” campaign and the stakes couldn’t be higher: Raise $2 million to modernize, compete and fill the seats.

Or raise the white flag and go dark for good.

Don’t think it can’t happen.
