Chester's old movie theaters Gone but not forgotten
Reader letters recall Chester's vanished cinema era noting the 1928 and 1955 theater listings, omitting some venues like the 1,000-seat State Theater and the Roxy. A city council resolution targets morally offensive films at the Boyd Art Theater, while the Police Beat covers local officers moonlighting and a City Hall family connection and Youth baseball honors.
