irajoel commented about Normandy Theatre on Jul 29, 2006 at 3:38 am

My father owned a luncheonette across the street from the Normandy on New Utrecht ave, and got to know the manager/owner a Mr. Green I recall. My mother who worked in the store, would leave me in the theatre to babysit me, I guess in 1950-51 or 52 and the matrons as we used to call them would look after me. I recall having to sit through A Streetcar named desire over and over, and for years after I had an aversion to it. Also have a memory of seeing an Italian film either bitter rice or maybe anna with silvano magnano. In the mid 50’s it was turned into a factory, and many of the Puerto Rican workers would come to eat lunch at my fathers store, and I would sometimes go with my mother in the factory/theatre to deliver lunch for the workers.

irajoel commented about Windsor Theater on Jul 25, 2006 at 1:43 pm

Growing up in Boro Park, the Windsor was considered by most to be a dump. Think I went there maybe once or twice. I was strictly a 46th street or Boro Park kid.

irajoel commented about Gaiety Burlesk on Jul 24, 2006 at 3:30 am

here are three pictures showing The Globe Theatre, The Gaiety and the strand. I’m a bit confused so maybe someone can give some info on these theatres. It seems that a publicity parade for 20 mule train was taking place. In any case these are rare pictures of Times Sq.

I saw a few vaudeville shows in the 50s. Films seen include the sign of the pagan ugh. 4 girls in town, judgment at nuremberg, the diary of anne frank, and the judy garland concert in 1967.

irajoel commented about Fox Theatre on Jul 23, 2006 at 2:33 pm

Unfortunately I only went to the Fox maybe twice that I recall. Once to see the Eddy Duchin Story I was nine. And then in 1959 I think to see It Happened To Jane. The trouble with the Fox was that it was off the beaten trail. The Albee, Met & Paramount were practically in a straight line.

irajoel commented about Film Forum on Jul 23, 2006 at 2:31 pm

The forums have terrific programming, but I really don’t like the theatres. Those columns, and terrible seats, sightlines etc. If someone tall sits in front of me I’m sunk.

irajoel commented about Cinema 1, 2 & 3 by Angelika on Jul 23, 2006 at 11:27 am

these were two of my favorite theatres and what a shame that now they are going or gone already. I loved the newness of the design when it opened in the 60’s. I loved also the display case, so unusual in that there were 3-D displays for the film being shown. I remember how exciting they were. Thanks for the color photos. beautiful. I saw nothing but a man, and a funny thing happened on the way to the forum, kiss of the spider woman, The Exoricist, to sir with love, Nashville, carnal knowlede and many others. Even if I wasn’t seeing the film showing I would love to see the displays. They were I recall very clever.

this is a great site, I can get lost on it.
I have many fond memories of the Albee Theatre as I went there when I was a kid. It was always there when my mom took us shopping downtown Brooklyn, and some of the films seen were invasion of the body snatchers, bernadette, blue denim and others that I can’t recall at the moment.
