I think your grandmother might be thinking about the Pelham theater—-which was actually on White Plains Road, about a block and a half from the Globe.

It might be of interest that above one of the theaters was a rehearsal space that was used for Broadway shows. Possibly that might have been the roof garden described above. At the northwest corner of 96 street and Broadway was a luncheonette, and I remember having breakfast there once, and seeing Jason Robards, John Baragray , and other cast members of a play called The Devils, by John Whiting,which was rehearsing in the space above. This would have been in September or early October of 1965.

In August 1964, I went to a Friday evening showing of The Night of the Iguana, at the Park Plaza. I remember joining an extremely long line of people after getting my ticket. At that time, I think only one film was being shown.

I am delighted by this action. I went to college in Baltimore, and since then have visited the city many times. I have fond memories of seeing movies at the Senator. I hope the trust will be very successful in turning it into a not for profit venue serving the community and the arts population.

I spent many hours at the Allerton Theater in the fifties; along with the Globe and the Pelham, it was one of the three places we saw movies in the neighborhood. Most memorable: Land of the Pharoahs in 1955.
