This is The Deluxe Movie Theater as I remember it and as it should be remembered. I lived on this street (Belmont Ave) from 1952 to 1970. The Deluxe was about 150 feet from the front door of my building to the front door to of the theater. It was our movie theater, we owned it. I can’t tell you how many movies my friends and I saw here but it was lots. Sometimes they would have kiddie matinee’s from 9am to 1pm and the place would be packed…and a huge mess afterwards. It was great to have your own “private” movie theater! The only other theater that rivalled the Deluxe in terms of the amount of movies we saw there was the Loew’s Fairmount Theater which was right around the corner just passed Crotona Ave, one short block away. But, as I said, the Deluxe was ours. This photo should be the “cover photo” for this page. The Deluxe “Porno Theater” photo has got to go!!! It should be relegated to the dustbin of time and forgotten.
