I’ve been to that old Kips Bay theatre many times and still live in the area. The actual theatre took up most of the space it lived in. It didn’t have much of a lobby and had a narrow hall in the back from which to enter and exit. The theatre’s screen was hugh, yet it had the smallest consession stand (always a line). I remember when you went to find a seat the theatre was always too dark, maybe to cover up its age. And walking down the aisle towards the front you felt like you were walking downhill. The last film I saw there was Joe Versus The Volcano. It was great…. but a little sad. My girlfriend and I were the only ones in the theatre. I suppose the end was near.
