Jeez Louise, the main stage opera house is untouched, but the smaller concert space was carefully and tastefully converted into four screens, two upstairs,and two downstairs. It was hardly haphazardly “cut up” like so many big movies houses were back in the 70s and 80s.
I don’t recall much theater being performed in the concert hall, or at BAM in general, but they do have other spaces now for theater and other live performances, including the restored Majestic Theater and a few smaller spots.
Image brightness is a common problem at many AMC theaters, at many theaters in general I suppose. Whenever I pointed out to an usher or a manager, they never seem to know what I’m talking about, although in the same complex you can go from one screen that is bright and clear in the next screen over is murky and dark.
Sooner or later I am going to write them an email, or try to contact the district manager, because they are not giving these movies away for free and if I’m paying for the AMC amazing experience, I expect to get it.
I meant that you should ALSO post a comment on the Orpheum page, because it would be reporting a condition at the theater where it actually occurred. Other users of that page may wish join the conversation and describe their own experiences…
PS I just attended the Broadway Backwards fundraiser here tonight, and the house looks as sensational as ever. I remember when I paid two dollars to come watch double features here.
Cosmic Cinemas' focus on adults stands apart from other movie theaters. Our beverage menu caters to a more sophisticated palate, and a parent or guardian must accompany children under 17-years old. Additionally, no babies, talking, or cell phones are permitted in the theaters.
I notice in the ad posted from Sept. 9, 1948, in the photos, that Doris Day’s name is not mentioned in the ad for Romance on the High Seas, her first motion picture. Soon she would be a top star and still alive today, while Jack Carson, Don DeFore, Oscar Levant and Janis Paige are largely forgotten (but of course not forgotten by members of this site, lol)

Wow, how did this sneak in…? Welcome the movies back to Delancy Street!
It’s the bulb in the projector, speak to the manager or contact headquarters. It’s a chronic problem that drives me up the wall.
The Roxy, like other independent theaters not part of a major chain, often had to scramble for product.
It was still showing first run, but day-and-dates with other Brooklyn houses, not playing exclusives in Brooklyn as it had for decades.

BigJoe, you should post your comment/question about the brightness of the image on the AMC Orpheum 7 page
For what it’s worth, since 2015 the Little Shubert is called Stage 42, although still owned by the Subert Organization…
The Devil in Miss Jones was released in 1973

So what is happening with this house?
On a recent repeat, George Burns mentioned playing this theater (as the Olympic) but getting the hook after only two days…
Al, looks like Cinema70 took his ball and went home…
I’d rather think of Barbra Steisand and Don’t Rain on my Parade…

Love the new photos but none of the theaters looks like it can hold 240 seats…
Rob, you the man. Thanks for staying on top of these developments…
