The only original area of the theatre still remaining is the balcony but that was used as a separate theatre years ago. However it still retains the original chairs.
I was in the area today and took some photos of the Paramount and one of the Adams'….I doubt these movie palaces will be resurrected. But I hope I’m wrong.
I remember how small the ‘lobby’ was and the concession stand was directly behind the auditorium. This was definitely no palace but I saw ABBY, RUBY, SINBAD movies at this place.
There is a building at 69 Graham Avenue,formerly Schecter’s Furniture store and it looks like it was a movie theatre. I will try and take a picture and post it.
What a shame there aren’t more vintage pictures of the interior of old movie theatre. My wish list: The Commodore,Williamsburgh,The Marcy, The Rainbow.
This place was always packed on weekends. But when David Lettermen moved to the newly-refurbished Sullivan Theatre the days were counting down for the New David.
My friends and I recently discovered this movie theatre. While it’s nothing to write about, décor-wise, it still has a sort of small town movie theatre feel to it.
The balcony is now open.
Here is a link with pictures that show the interior of the Globe as used for a nightclub.

The singing group The Wanted filmed their video for the song Show me Love in the Globe.

How convenient that a fire broke out the same time as they were trying to save it. What occupies this site now?
markp yes I remember seeing the name Proctor on a wall when I went to see the Adams.
The status should show ‘demolished’.

What a shame..I doubt this place will be restored. There is a sign advertising there is 20,000 square feet of retail space.
How did you get in?
How did you manage to get inside the theatre? Thanks for sharing.
My older brother worked for a time at the gas station.

I am wondering how long before they tear this down for new construction. The bodega that was next door for almost 50 years recently closed.
Was it closed due to poor attendance?
They just opened up the balcony.

Most people don’t want to go to the Bronx and there’s limited parking.
Hey bipolardisordernaclaerio, you weren’t able to take pictures? Thanks.
I added some new photos I took this evening. I want to go back with my camera and take better pics.
I sent an email to Pilgrim Church asking if I can tape some photographs.
Mr. Katz did you have any problems taking photos of this former theatre?4
