Uploaded an image of the theater. The source was purported to be Cinema Treasures, except it wasn’t on Cinema Treasures for the Marble Hill. So who knows where it appeared before now.
Uploaded a photo of the entrance. Remember the day when the name of the theater was displayed not the parent company? And with all the changes happening the updates must cost a pretty penny.
Looking at the photos section the one says it was once called the Major Theater.
And when you look at the shape of the marquee in that picture do any locals notice the similar shape to the Bloor and the former theatre on the same street?
Uploaded several photos. I question the address in the overview since I saw it referenced online as 140 North Main Street. Any Jerseyites can confirm or refute?
The oft postponed hearing is now postponed indefinitely. Now, there is also the additional wait for the Nassau County Department of Public Works to weigh in on a proposal to cut off access to Middle Neck Road from Maple Avenue during the demo. Middle Neck Road is a county road.
If this goes on much longer the building will just fall down of its own accord.
Good news. It was announced that the theater would reopen by July 4th. The damage from Superstorm Sandy was so extensive that the screens had to be removed and most of the ground floor of the theater rebuilt. There are new digital and 3D projectors in each of the theaters.
Noting the trend by the big distributors for larger, more luxurious seats the replacements will reduce the capacity to 436.
No indication of the cost of the rebuilding was given by the owner who regarded it as a “labor of love”.
There will also be a new ticket reservation system.
Ken McIntyre, your link no longer works. Could you find the image again but put it in the photos section this time?
Theater reopened for it’s brief summer season on June 19th. Of the four auditoriums, Number 1 is NOT handicapped accessible.
