devonhart Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 As I get older (52) I get quick flashes of a memory, not sure if it really is a memory. One that keeps popping up is a statue of the Charles Dicken's character Oliver Twist holding out a bowl. I see this statue somewhere outside the Delman Theater on Main Street. Is it possible that it was a promotional item when the film "Oliver" was playing in 1968? Anyhow, anyone remember this? And if not, can you recommend a good dementia doctor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonhart Posted December 2, 2007 Author Share Posted December 2, 2007 Wow that's the statue in my memory, just not where and when I pictured it. Maybe I'm only half senile. Thanks for the research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highrise Tower Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The classically elegant Miller Memorial Theater, located in Hermann Park, was designed by William Ward Watkin in 1921. The theater was demolished beginning in 1967 to make way for the present Miller Outdoor Theater, completed in 1969. The only remnants of Watkin’s original theater are the columns, which flanked both sides of the proscenium. The columns were moved in 1968 to help create the Mecom-Rockwell Fountain and Colonnade at the north end of Hermann Park near the ZaZa Hotel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
