I grew up in East Setauket and went to the Three Village Theater every weekend. It isn’t the Fox Theater that you think. It was located on 25A in East Setauket. It was a small movie theater that was at the end of a small shopping center. Across the street from the shopping center is the St. James Roman Catholic Church (I was confirmed and married at that church). While the church was being built, Sunday services were held at the theatre. It closed in the early 70’s and after a few changes is now (I believe) an AID Auto Store. The owner of the theatre (As kids we knew him as Mr. Bishop) eventually opened up the PJ Twins in Port Jefferson, which was one of the first multiplexes around. That is if you can call two theaters a multiplex. It is now called PJ Cinemas, which is now a small mom and pop multiplex with about 8 theatres. ( http://www.pjcinemas.com/pjcinemas ).
