The “Christmas Spectacular” keeps on zooming in the 21st Century. What would “Roxy” and Leon Leonidoff think? View here

Shame on Alba management! Jean Arthur starred in “The Devil and Miss Jones,” NOT Jean Parker.

Comfortably Cool commented about Century's Prospect Theatre on Nov 18, 2018 at 11:23 am

The Technicolor epic had played the Loew’s circuit in 1940 with a roadshow policy, and was now returning at lower ticket prices (but still higher than regular).

Comfortably Cool commented about Elmwood Theatre on Nov 16, 2018 at 2:18 pm

The Queensboro presented late-run movies most of the week, but drew no crowds whatever the bookings. Blame it on the Depression and location in an under-populated area.

If you enlarge the photo, you can see the corner entrance to the RKO Bushwick directly behind the abandoned Century/Shubert marquee.

in this cropped version of a tax photo in the Municipal Archives, the Skouras Broadway offers an MGM double bill of “Barnacle Bill” and “The Big Store,” two weeks after Loew’s Triboro.

Shared management with the World Theatre, which had a much lengthier cinematic history.

Comfortably Cool commented about Savoy Theatre on Nov 10, 2018 at 11:29 am

According to the logic of this ad, a family of three could save $109.20 per year by attending the Savoy twice weekly instead of higher-priced competition.

Comfortably Cool commented about Malboe Theatre on Nov 10, 2018 at 10:10 am

The front of the marquee displayed just the name MALBOE in large electrified lettering…Frank Sinatra made his movie debut, if only briefly, in “Las Vegas Nights,” performing one song with Tommy Dorsey’s Orchestra.
