According to the book ‘Historic Movie Theatres in Illinois 1883-1960’ by Konrad Schiecke, the Rosette Theatre opened in 1916 and closed in 1937. There is now a restaurant on the site.
Listed in the Kine Yearbook;1934 edition as the Twin Regal Kinemas with a seating capacity given as 1,600. The stage was 6 feet deep, there were 4 dressing rooms and a cafe attached. Maybe only one of the auditoriums had the stage and dressing room facilities?
By the time the 1954 edition of Kine Yearbook was published, all the above details remained the same (including the name Twin Regal Kinemas) but the seating capacity had been slightly reduced to 1,526.
The Drake Cinema opened on 5th June 1958 with “South Pacific” presented in 70mm/Todd-AO. It had a seating capacity of 1,639.
It was tripled in March 1975 and further sub-divided into five screens in April 1991.
After closing in October 1999, the building remained empty until it was demolished in 2002. The Grosvenor Casino was built on the site and it opened in 2003.

PKoch…I feel most at ease wandering around Brooklyn’s Broadway district. In fact that goes for most areas I have ventured into in N.Y.C. in recent years. Being a ‘city’ person I am generally aware of my surroundings. My digital camera is the size of a credit card, so its not too noticable and I usually don’t hang around too long…as I know there’s usually another theatre to ‘discover’ further along the block!
