Both Clearview and National Amusements have regularly scheduled classic series at reduced prices — imagine if the quality and selection were greatly enhanced.
Any racial aspects of Porgy and Bess that might seem insensitive to our modern sensibilities? (Although a recent commentator’s amazement that black patrons weren’t cursing up a storm at Sylvia’s Restaurant makes me think that there’s still a ways to go.)
I saw some movies here around 1980 when I lived in Flushing; it was already a triplex then, and I remember a summer matinee show wherein the theater was icy cold and nearly emnpty. I was sorry to see it demolished some time later.
I also saw the ad and read the comments about Porky’s, which I saw at the Keith’s — it previewed at Prospect but opened at Keith’s?

Your changeover cues get a little raggedy,too.
Colorful names, anyway: Steamtown, Moosic, Endless Mountain…
Try this link. Too bad the drive-in’s closed.

Reports on last night’s screening, please.
“insulting asides” are part of the spice of CT. I’ve zinged a few myself.
They needed a little rehearsal, at least with the openings and closings. Tonight should be better.

Organs were visible during its Cameo/Adonis/Playpen days.
I like to see the curtain just finish opening as the studio logo and fanfare fades from the screen.
Hey Craig! We’re expecting a grade-A presentation tonight! Make sure you’ve got a pro in the booth!
Ask Bloop — he seems to know the lay of the land out there.
I think I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show here.
Even the New Victory, built in 1900, has only two balconies.

I kinda liked ALL the nudity in that sexually-charged movie.
It was in the right side of the divided autditorium, but still a pretty big screen, even though the seats faced slightly to the left!
When Variety used to give individual theater grosses, or top grossing sites, (do they still do that?) this was always on the list.
I am forbidden to go to this theater, or to the Sunrise Multiplex, by concerned family memebers.

I heard they had some nice brass fans in there.
Shouldn’t the description and former names be updated on this house?
Any photos of this house during its Elgin days?
Thanks for sharing.
That photo’s from Ed Solero’s collection, though it has been in other scrapbooks, too.
Too bad about the curtain in “Loews.” How many seats in that room?
