Our thanks to Bobbie Auld of North Carolina for the vintage "Penny" post cards promoting the weekly schedule at the Richardson Theater in Seneca, South Carolina. She sent five post cards along with a delighful note.

She writes, "We lived on the Clemson campus in the 1930s. These cards are from the Seneca, SC theater, but I don't remember ever going because on the Clemson campus in the "Y Building" we paid 10 cents to see what the cadets saw in that theater."

Richardson Theatre
The Richardson Theatre in Seneca, SC, was located at 121 Townville Street. Seneca also had the Star Theater which is mentioned in the 1927 edition of Film Yearbook. We would love to hear any stories our visitors might have regarding either of these theaters. We would be very excited to locate any photographs of these old theaters.
