Hi, all…..I introduced the Wilson Theater to Cinema Treasures several years ago when nobody could remember it ever existed. I went to P.S. 16 and used to walk past the closed theater every day. I called the Jewish Book Store next to the Synagogue and spoke to someone who told me that the floor in the Synagogue was being replaced because it slopped forward. That bit of information and a Google Earth view of the building showing what appeared to be a typical movie theater roof, cinched the fact that the Synagogue used to be a movie theater. I am soo happy that others are still talking about the theater. I would suggest that you view all the comments going back to the beginning or several years worth. It is interesting and worthwhile.
