The Vogue’s last hurrah was sponsored by the Remsen Chamber of Commerce, according to the March 25, 1974 issue of Boxoffice, which noted the organization’s “[e]xtensive renovation, remodeling, and reseating….” then underway the house. A definite reopening date was to be announced soon.
Anytime!
Thanks for firming up the dates!
Allan Banks opened his 325-seat Vogue Theatre on September 17, 1937 with Stuart Erwin in “Dance, Charlie, Dance” (unclear if any short subjects were added).
During its later heyday, the Vogue was once operated by Jim Heldsech. Heldsech closed the Vogue on March 3, 1973 and the theater sat abandoned for 13 months due to renovation. The Vogue reopened on April 5, 1974, but this didn’t last long at all.
The Vogue closed for the final time on January 8, 1975 with “Wonder Of It All”, and the marquee was removed in April 1980.
