I have submitted a separate entry for the Avenue A theatre at 51 Avenue A and 4th Street.
I cannot find any evidence that this Hollywood Theatre (98 Avenue A)was ever known as the Avenue A theatre nor have I seen any posts here alleging that is was. It was perhaps simply called the Loew’s Avenue A by locals but that name should probably not be listed as an aka.
I have been trying to find a review of the show to see if any critics saw it but they not around, nor are any notices of a cancellation. I think Chesty Morgan was the Gayety regular.
I suspect there was a small shop on the corner past the entrance of the Fotosho and that the trolley in that last photo is reaching an intersection that crosses both ways.
Isn’t it more plausible that someone who saw a concert at the United Palace Theatre today would be trying to find out about it and rather less likely that someone would be looking for a movie theatre that closed 38 year ago?
Louis, according to Wikipedia the Larry King arrest was later in 1971 and the Louis Wolfson implicated was not part of the Wometco clan.
This theatre opened as an ABC Florida State Theatre and then became Plitt. If it was a Wometco near the end, it would have been after the family sold the chain.
New Strand should be added as an aka name here.

Here is an ad for the Tribune which shows it operating as the City Hall Cinema briefly during the summer of 1965.

LOL.

The mind boggles as to where the Paramount Theatre Orchestra may have come from.
According to one of Linda Lovelace’s many contradicting memoirs, this performance at the Griffith Paramount (aka Pussycat)never happened.

Off the thread? How sensitive some denizens of New Amsterdam can become when faced with common sense changes…
Yes, the Selwyn is now the American Airlines.
Thank you CT. This page is now a tribute to a living preserved theatre and not another tombstone to memories of a dead one.
Wally, 214 is the New Amsterdam. The Lyric and the Apollo were combined to create the Ford/Hilton at 213.
Gerald, this was in February 1964 when they opened with Gregory Markopolous' “Twice a Man” and Stan Vanderbeek’s “Breath-Death”.
Warren, if MiracleMan is indeed new to CT, a welcome would have been in order, not stupid bullying.
This theatre is already listed as part of the 163rd St Triplex.

This is the Fox City Theatre at 114 East 14th Street, next to Luchows. The fire was on June 29, 1916 as reported in the NYT.
Oops. Sorry, I also posted this on the City page by mistake.
I suspect there was a small shop on the corner past the entrance of the Fotosho and that the trolley in that last photo is reaching an intersection that crosses both ways.
Yes, it is June 1926 and it is from the book MIAMI, THEN AND NOW.
Hopefully this ad will convince CT to correct the name of this location to PALM SPRINGS.

Two more shots of the Paramount marquee.

Miamiguy, since the two theatres co-existed I assume the Hippodrome was advertising above the Fotosho.
This photo places the Fotosho on the site of the State, next the Seminole and McCrory Hotels and therefore across from Kress.

Tao in New York is the old Plaza Theatre on 58th street. They gutted the place out for the restaurant but the food is quite good.
The link to photos posted by Joe Vogel reminded me of how beautiful the Beach lobby was.
I agree. Screw history.
How do people find it today?
