I went here tonight for the second time, the first being a few years ago. The auditorium I was in was maybe 400 seats, but I was so disappointed in the screen, it was too high and on the small side. There was also sound problems about a half hour into the show but then it was ok. I have to say one thing though the place was very clean, the floors were not sticky and the mens room was clean. They don’t air condition the lower lobbies, I don’t know how the staff stands it. One thing that blew my mind was the #2 combo was 2 large popcorns and 4 medium sodas and you get 2 free candies and the price, take a breath $32. I ordered a large nachos and amedium drink and it was $12.25, can you believe that.
In 1971 the then Jewel revived the stage and screen policy that had once flourished at the Paramount and Capitol. :) (sorry part of the ad is cut off) View link
Father Goose was the 1966 Christmas Show

Those are the Tami-TNT shows which were in Electronovision. Those played regular runs, this seems like something live.
Lets not forget the classy “Cinema 5 Theatres” (originally Rugoff) and the pride of Long Island “Century’s”.
