Summary
Here’s a photo of the old Imperial Theater on W. Potomac Street, taken from a different angle than we have seen before, likely in the 1920s.
Some mystery. There appears to have been stairs or maybe a red carpet on the right side of the theater. There once was a basement with a bowling alley and pool room until around 1931. The bowling alley was located in the rear of the basement, but the stairs may have led to a hallway or tunnel.
If you look closely, you will notice a sign featuring the name of actress Marion Davies. Although she retired in 1937, the peak of her movie career was during the silent film era of the 1920s.  Note also the old ticket booth that was later replaced by a black diamond kiosk now housed at the Brunswick Heritage Museum.
