CANTON, PENNSYLVANIA 1795-1976
Canton has had several movie theaters, one of which was operated by Tom Miles and his sons Fred and Ben. It was located near the site of the present Ben Franklin store and admittance price was a nickel. Later, Charles Donovan opened a movie house in a part of the building which in recent years housed the Acme Market on Main Street. Harry Wheeler and Howard Bullock managed a movie theater known as the Hippodrome, on Troy Street. Hugh Crawford built what was known as the Crawford Theater (this is the present day Rialto) which was later operated by the Barnes sisters. For many years, this was the domain of Lou Smithgall Anderson and several generations of small Cantonians had their first "window on the world", along with lessons in the art of behaving in public, at the Rialto on Saturday afternoon.
