Scenes for “Sweet Daddy” starring Tweedy (a/k/a Marcel Perez), a comedy short made at the Mittenthal studios in Yonkers, were shot in the theater in May 1921 at a big event honoring the Shiller Bros. “Sweet Daddy” survives in 35mm at the Library of Congress. I’ve seen the film a couple times; the footage of the interior of the theater show a packed house and views of the theatre and state.
Charming theater, with new and enthusiastic ownership. I was hired to present and play piano accompaniment for Harold Lloyd’s “Safety Last” there in November 2010. I’ve posted several photos of the place that I took before the show. Theater is presenting a mix of new film, classic/indie/arts film, streamin-vid theater and opera, as well as local live music and theater performances.
