Trying to contact Michael Coate and have tried to do so at the Digital Bits site. No matter what code I type in, none of my messages go through. Have questions about THE SOUND OF MUSIC article he wrote, and more.
Thanks for that great picture of the great SOUND OF MUSIC playing at the Marine. However, I noticed from my research that TSOM did not open there until December 21, 1966, so this shot would have to be from that year or possibly sometime in 1967.
Wow, Tinseltoes! Thanks for that BOXOFFICE cover with the Town auditorium on the front. It was pretty neat to see it again. I remember sitting in that 1,000 auditorium to see AIRPORT back in 1970 (June, I think), and it was so crowded that some members of our family had to sit separately from us.
KGordon,
I too had to wear that goofy red and white-striped usher jacket and the red bow tie when I worked at the Plaza’s companion cinema on Route 34 for one summer. Thanks for reminding me of the outfit!!
Great description of THE SOUND OF MUSIC experience, JOESAVANA. And thanks, PBUBNY for answering my question from years back about the Bellevue noise problem. Sorry I only got to see this cinema in its cut-up state.
Thanks indeed Sam Irvin for your story about MY FAVORITE YEAR. I remember passing the Rivoli (fall of 1981 maybe?)when that faux HOUSE OF WAX sign was waiting to be hoisted to its spot in front of the real marquee. I was quite confused and intrigued as to what this was all about. It wasn’t until I went to see MY FAVORITE YEAR the following October (at the Paramount Theatre at Columbus Circle) and saw the opening sequence that I put two and two together.

Tinseltoes, I love these Boxoffice magazines that you’ve posted. Do you know of any place that sells old copies?
