The Juliet 1&2 was originally opened by ABC Theatres of NY to exhibit its own ABC Pictures. That production arm did not last too long and subsequently the site played other product.
It was named after ABC’s Juliet theatre in Poughkeepsie because the powers to be at ABC were so proud of that theatre and the business that it generated. It was located opposite Vassar College. It has not been a cinema since Sept. of 1990 and is now owned by Vassar. It will soon become a college book store.
I managed the Juliet in Poughkeepsie for 13 years so that this information is right on.
