Richie commented about Loew's 46th Street Theatre on Apr 22, 2006 at 8:20 am

Accidently came across this web page. WOW, what memories. I used to go to the “Lowees” (that’s how we pronounced it) 46th Street theater. Usually as a kid I would first go to Berlon’s Kosher Delicatessen on Fort Hamilton Parkway to have a pastrami sandwich on club bread (anyone remember club bread?) with a potato knish and Dr. Brown’s Celery Tonic. After lunch I would walk passed the Okay Bookstore and Wings Chinese Restaurant on my way to that glorious movie house. Remember when you went to a matinee and came out with the sun shining brightly? It took awhile for your eyes to adjust. I also frequented the 46th on Tuesday nights for vaudeville. At about 8:00 p.m. after the movie, they had five live acts together with a five piece band and an emcee. I remember seeing Ed Sullivan be the emcee on many occasions.
