from what i understand from talking to merchants ..no matter who runs the theatre or buys the theatre if they should ever fail it can not be sold out from under town..i did a guest spot on WLNG 92.1FM
we talked about the theatre and how important it is to the town..
also, talk to AMY CSORNY…doing a run for a town council…
she tolk me when she talks to shop owners in the town, the 2nd or 3rd
question she gets asked is about the theatre..
LIKE MOST OF THE SINGLE THEATRES FROM THE EARLY 20’S..HAD A STAGE LIFE, MOVIE LIFE,NOW PERFORMING ARTS…
THE PLAYHOUSE IN GREATNECK HAD A LARGE STAGE FLYING SCREEN AND A LARGE BAND PIT…TWO FLOORS OF DRESSING ROOMS…ONLY WISH SOMEONE IN A GREATNECK WOULD HAVE TURNED IT INTO A PERFORMING ARTS CENTER..
THE SQUIRE WAS A CAR SHOW ROOM AND SERVICE CENTER IN AN OTHER LIFE
just want to jump in here…when i was with rko and worked 59th street east, after they closed madison,rko leased out porno side…
i think also,RobertR, when you said porno chic,it could mean the lobby..also..they loved blue and red lights…
when the warner did a flip to cinerama and penthouse..half the
marque soffit lights were blue for cinerama and red for penthouse..
when you worked inside they had smoked mirrors with gold vains..
the rest rooms were marked king and queens…in nyc that could really
make people think before picking a door..
oh yeah, naughtyvictorians…true art….i kid..
don’t chic-out…
I WENT BY LAST WEEKEND ON MY WAY TO GREENPORT..STILL THE SAME….
OVERGROWN….STILL HAS A DRIVE IN FOOT PRINT…
WHEN I WAS MGR. OF RIVOLI NYC..I USE TO SPEND MY SUMMER DAYS OFF
IN SOUTHHOLD..WAS MY CHANCE TO CATCH UP ON FILMS THAT DIDN’T PLAY AT

west babylon…babylon…sayville last 3 movie theatres in a down
town [and or] main street until you get very east of patchougue..
grew up in west babylon, still don’t know where down town is
kinda' like deer park..have any idea where ua would put a theatre?
some where around lie i would guess..
keep us posted..
thanks john!
DEER PARK??? sorry..thinking out loud…
as for SAYVILLE it’s a bookers dream…
also it could run later shows….
as for sayville vs 13 screens…by the time a movie gets to theatre
13 it’s out on dvd…
here’s the question….do you think most movie goers, have a good idea what they want to see when they select a theatre or
the amount of screens…
HEY LET’S GO TO THE WALLYWOOD CINEMA’S!
what’s playing there?
I DON’T KNOW BUT THEY HAVE 30 SCREENS…
as for island 16, it’s really nice but, it’s like a food cort with theatres on the side…
hey UA..hope DEER PARK is a real deal..
maybe block buster on dpa should become north babylon theatre again.
thinking out loud again.
when we had mary poppins and let the good times roll…reg. patrons
were surprised to hear the great stereo sound it had..
i miss the big out door screen…what a land mark…westbury neon
could been from lie….top of screen was wide enough to sit on..
ask any old ramp-men…
hey now ct members….check out web site above..seating put to rest..
you need to check out this theatre in person…better yet see
a show there….
there was a jerry lewis twin in lake ronkonkoma long island
went porno now an o t b…
wonder what it will be in it’s next vise!
just want to flash back to vito june 6th…
what i was talking about was when jerry lewis and the head of ua east
formed some kind of relationship i never gave a date…but, it was early 70’s….
the prototype was some place in queens…that’s all i was saying..
i can’t remember the the operators name that…maybe someone will
…john? maybe…in the prototype was platters…they showed how a twin could use one platter of film could feed two screens…
