The Brandt organization owned several Times Square theatres and ran the Flamingo, Cinema, Plaza Art, Beach and Lincoln in Miami Beach during the sixties and seventies.
I am not sure if “Bingo” was involved but the Brandt group was not above showing porn.
Asian Cinema, particularly Bollywood, is undervalued for potential in the U.S. and is still being wrongly treated as ghetto product for Indian owned independent theatres. Asian audiences from all walks of life would see them in droves at a modern multiplex as they do in Europe.
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.
The M & S Waco theatre at 118 Rivington Street advertised in 1923. Might this have been the Golden Rule or a separate theatre?
This location was advertising as the Star-Comet in 1923.
By 1923 this was already operating as the Betsy Ross according to a NYT Paramount Picture Week ad.
Loews stopped advertising this site around May 1976 so that may be the closing date.

This is a smart move.

I just ran into “Tongue” on imdb.com (don’t ask).
I was not aware the LOVE hosted a premiere!
My guess is that “The Stewardesses” would be the top 3D film followed by “House of Wax”, if figures were adjusted for inflation.
Normandy with a ‘Y’ was the name of this theatre for most of its history. The ‘IE’ name was not used after the mid-fifties.
The Flamingo marquee can be glimpsed on this postcard, just a few storefronts past the Carib.

Thank you, Warren.
Does anyone have date when it operated as the WORLD?
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.
