History: |

The
Majestic Theaters history begins with a Gettysburg College
freshman named Henry Scharf. After illness claimed his father
in February of 1922 he took over his familys' business, the
Hotel Gettysburg on Lincoln Square. Two years later, Henry
announced plans to build an annex immediately north of the
hotel, including guest rooms, a combination gymnasium-dance
hall, and an auditorium. On November 14, 1925, the Majestic
Theater made its debut with the premiere of Cecil B. DeMille's
ten-reel film, "The Road to Yesterday" as its first screen
attraction, accompanied by "Duke" Eide of Shamokin, Pennsylvania
on the organ. The interior was described as elegant and comfortable,
with a mulberry and gold color scheme. One of the opening-night
patrons described his experience: "The evening proved a revelation
to those of us who attended and upon leaving that temple of
entertainment to find ourselves on Carlisle Street, we were
sure we were in Gettysburg and more proud of it than ever."
In the 1950s the
theater served as a venue for large-scale press conferences
for President Eisenhower during his residency in Gettysburg.
In the early 1980s economic realities forced the owner to
convert the single-auditorium theater into a triplex cinema.
Today the Majestic Theater has been converted back to its
original splendor and now continues to provide entertainment
to the residents and visitors of Gettysburg. The James Gettys
Hotel created the Majestic Suite in the summer of 2005 when
Thistlefields Tearoom closed its doors. With the closing of
the tearoom, Lord Nelson's Gallery was able to expand into
the former tearoom space and the upstairs gallery was converted
into the Majestic Suite.
