It had a small free standing marquee on the road and a flat one on the front of the building.

I answered my own question about where this theater was by racking my brain. This was right on Broadway in Hewlett a few blocks south of E. Rockaway Ave. (or Road). What was strange was that it was the very last building in that strip mall and I don’t think there was a very large marquee. You wouldn’t know there was a theater there. It was in an unexpected place.

Does anyone know exactly where this theater was? I lived in on the south shore of Nassau county for years and frequented the “Five Towns” area a lot and I can’t seem to remember where this was…

Also, does anyone remember a large, very nice theater in Cedarhurst? I don’t see it listed here. I know it closed back in the 80’s.

Somehow I can see why it closed. The neighborhood never would have let an XXX theater open up in it’s neighborhood.

The strong point of CENTURY in suffolk county had to be HUNTINGTON THE SHORE ,YORK , WHITMAN, 110 DRIVE IN . THE ALSO HAD THE HUNTINGTON THEATER AND ONE IN HUNTINGTON STATION. So at any given time they had at least 4 theaters going.

It was a nice house for an independant. Hey longislandmovies I was curious, besides Roosevelt Field and the Route 110 Drive-In what were the other big money makers for Centurys?
