If I remember correctly, didn’t “The Exorcist” also play at the Fox in 1973? It seems like I remember lines around the corner of Market Street for that movie, and I think it was at the Fox. Anybody know?

ciani commented about Milgram Theatre on Jun 20, 2004 at 11:21 pm

I vividly remember the Milgram theater, along with the Goldman, the Stage Door Cinema, the Fox (hated that one because of the old architecture artwork design at the very top edge of the building), the Duke & Duchess, and the Sameric. Of all of those theaters, the Milgram was my favorite. I remember going to the Milgram to see “Cleopatra Jones,” “Melinda,” “Trouble Man” and other “blaxploitation” films of the time. I was only a kid at the time, but I remember it well. There was a great steak house about two doors down from the Milgram, on the corner of 16th and Market, where they cooked charcoil broiled steaks on an open grill, and had the best lemon meringue pie I think I’ve ever tasted in my life…
