Hello “Ligg”,
Interesting take on the current state of the movie/art industry. I, too, do not look past the vast offerings of the modern day multiplex. I love them for what they are and offer. But, o' yeah, the artistry of the industry is certainly going to fade away with this current generation. If you want, we can blame rock n' roll, the internet, or acid rain. Not sure, but people have shifted their eyes to the Netflix way of things and gotten away from the art style. Honestly, art has that long lasting quality that pulls communities together. At the very least, gives a quality to life. I’m getting a little sick and tired of Broadway prices for the local hour and a half film filled with garbage and smut. Gone With The Wind? Yep! I would have to agree.
On a separate note, you like Indian films?! Really? I personally think most of them are bordering uselessness. Same story line, same actors, same village, same evil mastermind, same director. Only difference is the movie title and those ridiculous dances they choreograph. They do have the ability to make some great films, but then the locals just don’t shell out to see them. But, there are definitely a few keepers.
What exactly is your involment in the entertainment industry?

Hello Ligg,
I thought of one day making it a theater again, but is something easier said than done. Not to mention, it’s not my business nor do I have a clue. Consumers Distributers? Man, haven’t heard that name in a long time. Also, I don’t have to worry about renting in that strip as the space is leased. And, NO, we are nothing like a Sylvan, Huntington, Kumon, etc. They are tutoring centers and we are quite the opposite in Abacus training and brain development.
Not a single remnant of any kind. I suppose when Consumers Distributers gutted it out, they did a pretty good job. Just before I took it over, there was some sort of food preperation and marketing company there. I really, really was hoping to stumble upon something great there. Go by and say hello to the place one day. A few locals already have. What was it about the Alan that everyone loved so dearly, anyhow?
Thanks for visiting our website and your thoughts of luck to us. Much appreciated.

I was doing a search on google for my business purpose when I ran across this blog(?) for the Alan theater. I remember as a child always asking my parent, “come on, let’s go to the Alan Theater. All my friends go there!” Well, I never really did get a chance to go to the Alan before it closed. Actually, I never remember even seeing it as a child. At present, I am the Pres. & Co-Founder of Smart Brain America Franchise Corp, a children’s after school program dealing in Right Brain Enhancement and Abacus Arithmetic. A few months ago I was expanding our franchise operations and found this great spot that for some reason attracted me. It was a New Hyde Park spot on Hillside Avenue. I liked the space and signed the lease. I later found out that I just leased the space to the old Alan Theater!! I was absolutely beside myself. I never had a chance to come here a kid, but I now run a children’s program here after all these years. I still love going to visit my franchisee there – just to give me the excuse of being in the Alan. And, yes, I did check high and low for left over reminants of the glory days, but there was not a negative, spool, or screen to be found. That did sadden me a bit. But, I thought you guys and gals may want to at least know that it didn’t go to waste by renting it to someone who said, “Alan what?”, “Theater? Who cares.” Thought you may find this interesting.
