These were all “live” performances, not films, briefly returning the World to its original policy as the Punch & Judy Theatre.

Comfortably Cool commented about RKO Albee Theatre on Dec 18, 2018 at 1:19 pm

The biblical epic had just finished a record-breaking premiere run in Manhattan at the Roxy, where it was replaced by “Beneath the 12-Mile Reef.” On Christmas Day, “The Robe” would extend to neighborhood theatres via RKO, Skouras, Randforce, and other circuits.

The Academy Award-winning song went on to become associated with the Christmas holiday season, but is currently mired in controversy. A front-page report in The New York Times can be found here

Photo seems to reveal a secondary marquee and entrance/exit around the corner next to the store with “Jeweler” sign.

An ultra-rare view of the huge double-sided roof sign, which was destined to be dismantled to create “scrap” for wartime construction needs.

World premiere engagement for the B&W tearjerker, which enjoyed one of the longest runs in the Music Hall’s history.

Comfortably Cool commented about Loew's Metropolitan Theatre on Dec 16, 2018 at 2:14 pm

Loew’s Metropolitan was the first theatre in the Greater NYC area to offer “Kiss Me Kate” in 3D, following the MGM musical’s “flat” premiere engagement at Radio City Music Hall.

Currently offering a double bill of “20 Mule Team” & “Typhoon,” several weeks after its neighborhood debut at Loew’s 83rd Street.

Comfortably Cool commented about Roxy Theatre on Dec 16, 2018 at 1:03 pm

An ultra-modern but smaller stage/screen showcase called the New Roxy was due to open at the end of the month in the Radio City complex, along with a Music Hall offering spectacular twice-daily variety shows.

And “I’m Not a Robot” for security purposes.

Presenting “Of Mice and Men” and “I Take This Woman” at the time. Marquee reflected in the water puddle behind the car at right.

Comfortably Cool commented about Roxy Theatre on Dec 14, 2018 at 1:00 pm

Two ads for “King Kong” have just been uploaded to the WRONG listing. The film opened at the New Roxy in Rockefeller Center, simultaneously with Radio City Music Hall. Due to legal protests from the original Roxy, the New Roxy was renamed as the Center Theatre, under which it is listed at Cinema Treasures.

One of numerous Greater NYC theatres that had to contend with an adjacent elevated subway line…Print has spots from damaged negative.

Roof sign was retained (with name change) for the Elmwood, and still overlooks Queens Boulevard with credit added for the current evangelical tenant.

Comfortably Cool commented about Elmwood Theatre on Dec 11, 2018 at 2:27 pm

From opening in 1928 until transformed into the Elmwood in 1946, the Queensboro was more closed than open, with failed attempts at movies, vaudeville, bingo hall, and subway circuit stage plays.

Comfortably Cool commented about Granada Theatre on Dec 11, 2018 at 10:45 am

View is towards Junction Boulevard, Corona’s main shopping street. Unfortunately, the Granada’s entrance was too far from the camera to show much more than an outline of the vertical sign and marquee.

Comfortably Cool commented about Starr Theater 2005 on Dec 10, 2018 at 3:19 pm

The supermarket occupies what was retail space from the beginning, and may or may not include any of the original theatre, which had its entrance at the other end of the block (not the intersection shown here).
