One of the acts shown on that Hootenanny ticket is the Big 3. Members were Cass Elliot (later Mama Cass of Mamas & Papas0, James Hendricks (not Jimi) and Tim Rose.

I grew up in Flushing and the Keiths was one of 3 theaters my friends and I took the bus to(the others being Prospect and Parsons). A child’s ticket I recall was 50 cents and it was always a double feature. I was lucky (or unlucky) enough to get entry to the theater about 3 years ago on a chance opportunity. How sad it was to see the extent of decay, but man, the flood of memories it gave me. I’m thrilled to find this chat chain on this grand old place and to see others who appreciate not the nostalgia, but the artistry and grandour of the building.
