i will find out where 5th ave d i is…i lived on long island and as a kid went there with my family…i’m sure it was north of sunrise..
the 16 multiplex you talk about…sounds like national amusements ?
heard they plan to knock down commack to build one like island 16
cinema de lux holtsville..
the walconey is closed for today..

re: 3 screens…the cinema was built later then drive in between
drive in and farmers market…though the same company never operated
together…it would be like you and your brother own a house next to each other and you telling people you have two driveways..
i was with prudential in h.s. and later with us from 69 to late 70’s.
one of the many theatres i managed was the bayshore theatre..
i don’t remeber encore..but, check this out..if you think about it
bayshore had more theatre’s then any town on long island at any given time…the bayshore[now ymca] the ‘regent’ still open with live shows [also owned ymca] the drive in, the cinema and the bayshore twins at the bayshore mall[still there not open].
by the way if you travel around l.i.check out the saville and islip
each now a triplex…BUT: check out the entrance and lobby’s…
just as nice as the day they were born..
my mom worked for prudential and ua until she retired alost 40 years
she was a manager..northport, sayville,islip,lindenhurst,babylon and
simthtown drive in..just to mention a few..if you worked in any of
the above theatre’s you may remember dotty…intermission is over

i saw the sound of music at the rivoli when i was in high school
and thought what a great theatre to manage…
in 75 i was made city manager of the rivoli…first theatre to play jaws, great waldo pepper and the savage is loose..do to the fact we
held a picture for two or three months, every new grand opening
ment a paint job front to back up and down and a new screen..i have some photo’s of the theatre would like to share them…
tell me how
