This is a rare sepia toned photo made from the original restored black and white photo/negative of The Detroit MIDWAY THEATER that was a popular neighborhood theater located at 4915 Schaefer Rd. in Dearborn, MI. Not too much is know of its history, but this is a wonderful and quite rare photo showing the large MIDWAY THEATER marquee ca. 1950 or so. It closed not too long after that.

At one time there were probably over a 100 neighborhood theaters in Detroit----this was one of them.
