The Howard and the Garden
On July 11, 1927 the Howard Theatre opened in Cumberland. Located at 126 North Mechanic Street the Howard was a theatre that served the area’s African-American community and provided movie showings twice an evening. Unfortunately, for whatever reason this did not work out and on October 31, 1927 the theatre reopened under a new name, The Garden.
