Saps is a play on my last name, also it was my original profile name here, but when I tried to change it a while back, I could only make a variation of it, if I recall correctly.
There are a few shots of this theater in a movie formally called Red Lodge and now called The Unattainably Perfect Gay Christmas, currently running on Amazon Prime
Speaking of concession sales, if I recall correctly, the candy counter at the Ziegfeld was the slowest one in town. Better get to the theater early, save your seat, and then wait on the line and hope to make it back to your seat in time for the coming attractions…
A “legit” movie theater, yes, but it always did play the offbeat, foreign language, and somewhat sensational motion picture fare; its eventual move to hard-core adult films was not surprising or unexpected.
The Apollo is to the right of the Selwyn; the Rialto is at the other end of the block near Broadway

TL;DR
I think the Tad’s was a conversion from a Lerner Shoes.

Another one bites the dust. Photos added.
Marilynn Monroe has a memorable walk-on in this, one of her earliest pictures.
My takeaway from this is, I wonder how you italicize something…
That question has been asked — and never answered — many times on this thread…
Nice photo you just posted, showing “A Walter Reade Theater” right on the front face of the marquee
PS to ReadeLegacy, glad to see you posting again, sorry for my earlier rudeness, hope all is forgiven…

Not exactly “just like,” but whatever…
There is a quick shot of the marquee near the end of movie The Killer that Stalked New York (1950)
New comment added to a photo.
Joe, based on your previous posts, it appears to me, and I mean this in the nicest way, that you do seem to have the worst taste in movies…
I wonder what were the other two reserved seat spectacles.
I hope we will soon have the opportunity to see it again on a big screen
The article about the Landmark 57 closing mentioned that City Cinemas had closed their East side theaters; did they mean these screens?
Also a little off topic, LOL, how does one italicize or bold a word or comment? I have looked for instructions on the site, to no avail.
All movie theaters in New York City are still closed
