Warner Theatre (Morgantown, West Virginia)

Opened June 12, 1931, it was designed by architect John Eberson,[1] whose theaters included the since-demolished Colonial and Astor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Calvert in Washington, D.C., and the Capitol in Chicago, Illinois; and the extant Cinema le Grand Rex in Paris, France, the Capitol in Sydney, Australia, the Dixie in Staunton, Virginia, and the American in the Bronx, New York City.

[citation needed] Don Knotts worked at the Warner Theatre while he was a student at West Virginia University.

On March 20, 1964, the Warner Theatre hosted the national premiere of The Incredible Mr. Limpet, a Live-action/animated film featuring actor Don Knotts.

[3] [better source needed] The Round Table Corporation purchased the theater in 2004 with the intention of restoring it to its original condition.
