This Universal feature “The Killers” was originally filmed for television and then deemed too violent. It lists Angie Dickinson and Lee Marvin as it’s stars, however it’s most famous as being the last movie of Ronald Reagan right before he became Governor of California. It’s also one of the few times Reagan played a bad guy. Check out the great co-feature Mamie Van Doren and Mickey Rooney in “The Private Lives of Adam & Eve”.

Look on the side of the Loew’s block ad. The Three Stooges were playing a childrens matinee along with WPIX’s Officer Joe Bolton.

When the Stooges started making movies again and appeared in person at theatres Officer Joe was with them many times. View link

This theatre was last known as Movie Center 5 so that should at least be the alternate name.
I don’t even think the Theatre Historical Society let’s you see a thumbprint pic to order photographs. You have to buy them blind.
