I grew up in Westchester and have so many memories of going to the Loyola Theatre in the 60’s and 70’s. During the summer, Marina Federal Savings used to sponsor free kid’s matinees each Wednesday. We’d buy our candy first at Savon’s Drug Store across the street. The bathrooms at the Loyola were really great- you’d walk down a few steps on either side behind the snack bar and I remember the bathrooms seemed real fancy (to a kid, at least!). The theatre itself was huge, there was lots of red velvet. I remember being at the theatre as a teenager in ‘77 and learning that Elvis had just died. I went back as an adult in the early 80’s and saw a double feature of Fiddler on the Roof and Doctor Zhivago- that was an all day event! That was my last visit to the Loyola and I’ll never forget it.
