Why not use the band to create funds? If you perform then you can give the concert money to the cause.

If you want to be the head of this corporation then you have to sign the certificate. We can’t do that for you on this end. I have a paralegal certificate, that has to be done by the corporate head.

You give some pretty good advice there.

Did you ever get a certificate of incorporation from New York State? In order to start a not for profit you need this. It may be a good idea to try and solicit funds for the restoration. Not necessarily to restore the theater, but to inform people of the group. This way you can buy more flyers and such. Also, you can do yardsales. That’s what they do with the Raymond Theater in Pasadena, California.
The group was started by someone I showed this page. If you use the E-Mail above you will contact him. Furthermore the webpage I mentioned before has the page about it. It is part of a main New York Nostalgia Page called the Unofficial New York Nostalgia Buff Website, which has its url at http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/awaseniu and that should take you to the index. It’s a fairly large site.

maybe I should also tell you that I suggested these sites because they are people interested in restoration of old buildings. There is some work I have been doing.

I have been working to find information on the Kings. You will also note that on my site, there is a pagea about the Kings with your E-Mail (which you permitted me to do). The particular page is http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/awaseniu/loews.htm and I hope I wrote it right.

I just reread an E-Mail I received in March. I don’t know why I didn’t mention it before, but I recently thought it may help. These groups are interested in restoration of old structures;
Does anyone on this page remember a theater in the shopping center at the intersection of Horseblock Road, and Waverly Avenue? It has a page on cinematreasures.org, but is not getting much attention. I figured this theater was close enough to ask. It was a twin that was operated by United Artists that was located where the Family Dollar is now.

I’m more of a lobbyist then a picketer. I’m trying to get the Kings and Paramount in Brooklyn reopen. By the way, I live on Long Island so I can’t really make it in. The way I figure is, and this is the way I do thing generally, encourage people to stand up. I am going to admit that I’ve never been to the Beekman, but, as a theater major, I seem potential in many old movie houses as possible places for live performance. By the way, I used the word “crybabies” sort of as a joke, sorry.

It may be a good idea for you to make them available to the general public. You can also make them into one giant video. A little idea, celebrities go a long way, one should emphasize on the stars that started there. Right now my little hobby is one on the 64-65 World’s Fair, and I’m hopeful to get stars from the past on it. In other words, vintage footage of stars. I know you work in television, and you would have a better idea of what to do. I just figured I would make a suggestion. When I got my television degree it was said that stars sell, and you need something that sells to get the idea across.
MAN THE CRYBABIES ON THIS PAGE! If you really want the theater do something! Picket! Write letters! The Beekman does not have to go the way of the Automat or Palisades Park! We elect governments to listen to our demands! Maybe someone will listen!
What do you all think? Should there be another documentary about the Kings? I do video documentaries as a sideline to my duties as a student. I think it would make a great subject for another documentary.

I hate to tell you but you’re wrong. The theater we are talking about here was constructed in 1929. Kings Plaza was constructed in the late 1960s. I was at the original theater in Kings Plaza, and, while it has a Loews now, it had a Century’s when it was first built. The theater in question is located far from Jamaica Bay in the neighborhood of Flatbush. We are not talking about a presently operating Loews in Brooklyn, but one that has been dark, or closed since 1974. The theater we are talking about, if memory serves me correct, is at the intersection of Flatbush and Tilden Avenues, not Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U. It was never multiplexed either, and the one in Kings Plaza is a multiplex.
Last month I was in California and stood in the area around Grauman’s Chinese and the Le Capitan. I saw the marquis of the El Capitan and found it delightful. I never saw an animated theater sign before. I did not go inside, but I’m sure that old theater is as spectacular as that marquis.

When did the Granada finally close?
When will the Beekman’s Last day be?

I am considering it for either now or in the near future.

Despite the typos, thata was a cuta story sure as theaters have popcorna
I was talking about the LCD Screen Technology. It looked great under those lights from the earlier times, and added a nice modern touch.
What do you all think? Should there be another documentary about the Kings? I do video documentaries as a sideline to my duties as a student. I think it would make a great subject for another documentary.
Glad you were Bway

Lostmemory, it seems that SAPS is stating the company name and not the name of the theater itself.
that’s the one we’re talking about. Wanna join?
Hey, what about getting together with me? I’m basically the one that suggested someone on this page join the group.
Well, then let’s get going. You may want to try and get a corporation’s cooperation.
Bruce1 I’m in.
