This project has good intentions but with poor results. Why not keep the theatre as the largest screen of the multiplex? Gutting it for a lobby is a pretty uninspired tradeoff by the developers.

Number one with Carnige Hall, Lincoln Center and dozens of other smaller venues new York does not need another symphoney concert hall. Number two if you read the description this theatre was built as a cinema from nothing but a shell. What is it that you propose is converted into a concert hall? You obviously have little regard for motion picture theatres.

I go to AMC25 42nd Street all the time. I’m 62 and enjoy the senior discount. I saw “IN THE BEDROOM” at Theater No. 14 last night. I was there early and heard a young woman singing with guitar accompaniment. SHe sounded exactly like a young woman I know who sings exactly the same tupe songs. She has a CD out now, just starting in the music business. I told her she might well be doing this, marketing her CD to a theater chain that would play her songs before movie showings, in-between movie showings. How can she get in touch with the right people about doing this. DIrectly to you or is there someone you can refer her to. Her e mail address is:

. You can reply to me a well since I am very interested too. Her singing and guitar playing, to me, is every bit as good as what I heard last night. Tell me how she can get her music marked, to whom, etc., so that she can be heard in the same way, during these movie breaks. Believe me, she is well worth it!

I enjoy AMC25 so much! I also enjoy going to the new Times Square Cafe. I am going there today, in fact!

So, please help a fine artist get a break. Her name is Val Gomes (pronounced like homes)

Thanks again!

I saw the picture of the AMC EMPIRE 25 and marveled. The facade and lobby were a part of the old ELTINGE THEATRE, which was named for the female impersonator JULIAN ELTINGE. Very ironic too that the female impersonator, RUPAUL is featured in MADAME TUSSAUD’S WAX MUSEUM at the megaplex. WOW! Learn more about Eltinge at www.julianeltinge.com. It’s fantastic! CINEMA TREASURES is marvelous!!

If you visit this theater, you have to check out the outdoor promenade on the top level. Stunning views of Times Square—from twelve stories up!
