Let’s hope that the movie provided more satisfaction than the phone invitation that she rejected.

Comfortably Cool commented about Merrick Theater on May 9, 2018 at 8:56 am

Due to product-splitting of current releases with the RKO Alden, the Skouras Merrick often depended on reissues to fill the gaps. “Blue Skies” and “Two Years Before the Mast” had originally opened in Jamaica as the top features of double bills at Loew’s Valencia.

In 1929, John Cort sold the operating lease to Louis Weber, who had no better luck booking plays and vaudeville direct from Weber’s theatres in Brooklyn.

The western epic was a cockeyed version of “Gunga Din,” but without credit to the 1939 classic.

The Castle Hill was the first theatre visited that day.

Has there been a solution to the disappearance of the magnificent display fountain, which was once reported as sold to an unnamed restaurant in Manhattan?

This was for one week only, prior to the world premiere engagement in Cinerama of “The Hallelujah Trail” with reserved-seat roadshow policy.

This was still a time when the Albee’s programs were exclusive first-run for the entire borough of Brooklyn.

The last “new” Greta Garbo feature to play at the Kings was “Two-Faced Woman” in 1942. She never made another film.

Since May 5th fell on a Sunday that year, opening hours were later than on other days of the week.

The auditorium’s roof had a tall tower which displayed FORUM vertically on all sides and could be seen for miles around when lighted at night.

Comfortably Cool commented about Collision of Giants (May 16th, 1957) on May 3, 2018 at 12:45 pm

New York’s two largest showplaces opened new programs on the same day, as well as at the same morning times…Peck & Bacall helped to draw more customers than Tracy & Hepburn. The Music Hall had a first week’s gross of abount $143,000, while the Roxy did $70,000, according to trade press reports. The Roxy had been expecting more with “teen idol” Tommy Sands on stage, but many of his fans may have been too young to attend unaccompanied.
