Dear Warren: I have tried any number of times to get the pictures from the site you mention, but I have not met with any success. I wonder if you could provide more specific information. I would be really grateful for your help.
There was also a theater callled the Stone, probably (appropriately enough) on Stone Avenue. Since I am writing a memoir of my childhood in East New York, I visited the site of the Premier recently. Sadly, there is now only an empty lot. What happened to Sutter Avenue is truly an American tragedy.
I am amazed that there seems to be so little in the way of images of the old movie houses in Brooklyn. When I was a teenager in the late 50s, Loew’s Premier was the place to be on a Friday night. Lots of the guys and girls from Thomas Jefferson High School and other local schools would be there. Unforgettable, of course, was the goldfish pond in the front lobby. Sutter Avenue was actually a fashionable shopping street in those days—hard as that may be to believe now. If anyone has any pictures of the old Premier or any of the other theaters in East New York, I would be very appreciative.
