NEW CASTLE, Pa. (WKBN) \u2014 The Historic Warner Cascade Theatre Museum in New Castle.<\/p>\n

The Cascade was the Warner Brothers\u2019 first theater. It opened Feb. 2, 1907. Now, it\u2019s been turned into a museum with two theaters to honor the Warner Brothers legacy and where it all began.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the only one of its kind, it\u2019s not another Warner Brothers theater, it\u2019s the Warner Brothers theater,\u201d said museum acting curator Bob Vargo.<\/p>\n

The Warner brothers began by showing The Great Train Robbery during Youngstown\u2019s summer county fairs. Once winter came, they turned a closed hotel into the Cascade.<\/p>\n

Bob Vargo said the museum replicates the original theatre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey turned into a theatre, 99 chairs \u2014 and we do have one of the original chairs that they borrowed from the funeral home down the street,\u201d Vargo said.<\/p>\n
