Cinemas 1,2,3 on the East Side have a general admission of $19, $16 for kids and seniors, and $10 for shows starting before noon. Also an extra $3.50 for a 3-D feature and $2.00 for 70mm presentations. How do those prices compare to the two multi-screens on West 42nd Street?

Ad published on July 2nd, 1969, a period when the Cinerama Theatre was under Pacific East management.

I don’t think that would work for the info I’m seeking, which is prices charged at box office for walk-in patrons. Prices paid on the internet always include a variable “service fee,” don’t they?

Advance ad for opening on July 3rd, 1969, a day prior to a three-day national holiday weekend.

At the time, Olive Thomas was married to actor Jack Pickford, the younger brother of Mary Pickford. Two years later, while the couple was vacationing in Paris, Olive Thomas died at age 25 under puzzling circumstances that were probably accidental.

What is the current range of ticket prices here? It’s information not readily available at their website. It seems that you actually have to start placing an order before they tell you what each ticket will cost.

Fourth of July holiday presentation for that year…Art work for “Bright Leaf” has a major error, showing a star who wasn’t in the film but would be in Gary Cooper’s next.

The B&W epic had premiered at the Liberty Theatre on West 42nd Street in March of the previous year.

Advertising heavily in Brooklyn and NYC newspapers, Brandt intended to change programs only once a week, or at least during the summer season when Coney Island crowds were at their peak. “Daddy Long Legs” reportedly played to 95% of capacity for the week.

100 years ago, Feltman’s Restaurant & Beer Garden was the largest and most popular eatery in Coney Island, world-famous for transforming frankfurters into sizzling “hot dogs.” Feltman’s Airdome was a concession run by William Brandt that occupied space between outdoor dining tables and the ocean boardwalk.

This proved to be the final summer season for the Roxy, which closed forever in February, 1960 and was promptly reduced to rubble.

Rockville Centre is beyond the reach of the NYC subway system, but did and still has a station of the Long Island Rail Road.

At that time, Skouras had two divisions in Queens, this one covering theatres in the western and North Shore portions of the borough. The other division included the Midway and Forest Hills in Forest Hills, and the Merrick and Jamaica in Jamaica, and was advertised separately.

Presumably, this was a version made for the Spanish-speaking world, but was it the original in English with Spanish sub-titles or the original with dialogue dubbed into Spanish?

Ballet choreographer Florence Rogge’s interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s “Bolero” made such an impact in its debut in February that it was “brought back by popular demand” just four months later. Over the decades “Bolero” returned numerous times, with some modifications along the way.

The Fox melodrama opened belatedly, on a Thursday…In addition to the Music Hall’s resident Symphony Orchestra, the stage revue included a guest appearance by the Concert Band of Columbia University.

Why is “Elmorovivo” unable to post on their own? Is the person no longer a member?

“Call of the Wild” was having its first reissue since independent 20th Century Pictures merged with Fox. The original release in 1935 was via United Artists.
