foureyes,aka Barbara Herman had trouble signing in and gave up. I asked Jan if she had old photos, but she must have frgotten. I’ll remind her. Her husband ushered at the Penway in the late 1940’s.
My sister Natalie Corkle, married Walt Levinsky a very successful musician-composer-arranger. His big swing band played The White House, toured Europe and Japan. He worked on films for Woody Allen who liked Walt’s clarinet(Walt played all the woodwinds) Google Walt for his long bio! His obit was on the front page of the N.Y. Times Dec.1999. My nephew Ken is also a musician(keyboard for “Classic Rock Cares” for John Entwhistle sp?) Ken plays in the pit on
Broadway ,composes,arranges, and plays piano. Both father and son were in “Radio Day’s”, that has a great scene in the NYC movie
theater at Rockefeller Center..I think?
PENWAY,State St.– Liberty St. Martins lived at 17th & Liberty. I remember a little boy,3 houses from us. Ross Care and a brother perhaps, in the first house behind Martin’s. Next to Dalrymple,… next Hibners who had a little girl Flossie, and Corkle’s lived next to them. Jeff Corkle was 5 yrs. in 1949. Kay 11, Barbara(me)16. Natalie 21 married a musician-conductor-composer directer of scores for films, Woody Allen to Jacque Cousteau, Roman Polanski.
When The Penway let out, people walked home past Jan’s front porch where we spent the evenings,…watching Greyhound buses off to exciting destinations I saw in the movies.
I’ll email my friend in Halifax for any postcards from their collection of theaters.
Jan Seidel will really enjoy reading this description and the great commnets about The Penway. I certainly did ! The 2 of us went regularly. (She married an usher, Nelson Hardy.I think it was the usher uniform that attracted her! LOL) Ushers wore UNIFORMS.
From mid 40’s to mid 50’s I lived at 1618 Liberty. Jan lived at 1618 State St. We still send emails several times a week.! Saturday matinee was 12 cents. Ice cream Sundaes at Peffer’s were great… triangular chair seats fit under the round ice cream tables.) George King was a Sodajerk for awhile. There was a place to park our bikes
at the Penway too.
…..Maybe Jan has some photos of the Penway marque?
