The Plaza was a very beautiful theatre in its heyday. Every year the ninth grade class from J H S 16 would have its graduation exercises there and all the girls wore movie star type prom gowns I graduated 9th grade in 1957. It was a very regal theatre, all carpeted with beautiful staircase. There were loge seats along the sides of the balcony but it was more expensive and no one ever sat there. I saw Gone With the wind there. What wonderful memories this site brought back to me. Thanks
I used to work at the Cable & Conduit company that was operating there in the early 1960’s I was a secretary back then and all of 19 years old. I lived on 101st Street and we frequented the theatre until it closed. There were always rumors that it would reopen; sadly it never did. It was a carbon manufacturing plant at one time also. The corner building was a pharmacy, soda fountain which we went to every day. I lived at 37-59 101st Street.
