Just a note, Loew’s did not open or build the Premier Theatre. The Grand Opening ads in the Brooklyn Eagle prove this. Loew’s acquired the theatre in it’s third or fourth year of operation. It already had the Palace, then acquired the Premier (a lovely ornate movie palace) and then built and opened the Pitkin. All three house are fairly close to one another. P.S. The Pitkin and the Premier played date and date while under the Loew’s banner. The Pitkin closed in 1971 (after a 3 week of “Shaft”) and the Premier in 1977 after the big blackout. The riots and looting caused many theatres in impoverished areas of the borough to close. I have some photos of the interior.
