Fays had many stars appear on it’s stage over the years. Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Rin tin tin, Jerry Colona, the Bowery Boys AKA the Dead End Kids, and even Frank Sinatra and the list goes on and on. There were movies but always with a “live show” in between. Fays also had a “Kiddie Review” where youngsters appeared and did acts. I fondly remember singing there as a child and meeting many famous people. Some things should live on forever but that is not the way of the world. I have always regreted that my kids and grandkids could not enjoy that kind of live entertainment. We still have actors, singers, poets and musicians in the family but there is no proving ground like the stage of Fays Theatre was to me. Bitter sweet thoughts. Thanks for the memories.
