Catonsville movie goers had
the Alpha Theater for years, located in the
700 block of Frederick Road. The building had
quite a front back in the 1930's, but after
closing in the 1960's, the building has been
altered and used as various stores, and is
impossible to spot. However, a check in the
rear of the block reveals the theater, with
the back twice as long as the other buildings.
Listings were found all the way back to 1930
for the Alpha, seating between 500 and 550, in
1951. In 1928, the only theatre listed for
Cattonsville ( sic ) is the Caton, and in
later years, black movie goers could see
movies at the Winters , off of Edmondson
Avenue .
