EX-THEATER OWNER D.H. WEINBERG DIES

Daniel Henry Weinberg, a Lexington native and former owner of the old Lee Theater in Roanoke and a chain of movie houses in Bedford, Buena Vista, Lynchburg and other Virginia cities, died Friday in Frederick, Md. He was 83.

Weinberg and his family operated the Shenandoah Valley Theatre Corp. in the 1930s and his Lehigh Development Corp. once operated 20 theaters. Lehigh built the Lee Theater on Williamson Road, which opened in 1941 and operated until the early 1980s.

Weinberg lived in Bedford in the early days of World War II and was chairman of Bedford County's War Price and Rationing Board. He was a 32nd degree Mason at Kazim Temple in Roanoke.

In Frederick, he operated theaters, a swimming pool, a bowling alley and a Holiday Inn.

Among his survivors is a sister, Adelaide Daves of Lexington. The funeral will be private.
