My late father, Sam Lesiger, worked for Rugoff & Becker throughout the 1950s, until they sold their three Brooklyn theaters in the late 1950s to Century. Compared to the Oceana and Tuxedo, both of which he managed during that same period, the Sheepshead was the largest and most luxurious of the three.

My dad managed the Granada in the early 70s, after working at the Century circuit all over Brooklyn for 15 years. He died suddenly in 1974.
