Perhaps ‘Tonino and Warren are one in the same person. Speaking of off topic bilge that was an imbecillic comment to make under the current climate here. Accusations such as that lead to more flame wars. I can assure you 'Tonino that I am not Brooklyn Jim or frankie.

It seems to me fella that you provoke the trouble and do not like it when people get fed up and respond to you. No one was bothering you. You took it upon yourself to chastise us for conversing about an actress and a movie. The webmaster is in charge here and not you. It you could just leave us alone we would gladly do the same.

I hear ya BrooklynJim. The other day I was having a conversation with PKoch about Marianne Faithfull who is a singer and actress and the Rolling Stones. Perhaps we did stray slightly off topic. As PKoch had predicted would happen; we were chastised by the ‘cranky fella’. Next was the appearance of ‘Art Theatre’ with his inflammatory message. The nice people are leaving this website because of altercations such as this. You have to be so careful what you write because you might stray off topic and be attacked by ‘Warren’ or ‘Art Theatre’. It appears that their goal is to eliminate people like us so this website will be for diehard historians with no regular people welcome.

I do not lead anyone ‘Art Theatre’. The other fella’s can speak for themselves. If you had been suspended the last time you played these games under your other alias we wouldn’t be having this conversation now. You are a disturbed individual.

Well fella posting duplicate messages is not contributing. It is called cluttering. Your repeat comments are the same annoyance to other’s as is the ‘usual off-topic gibberish’ that you complain about other’s doing. It appears to me that your troublemaking ways surface when you run out of legitimate comments to make. If you have nothing interesting to say then say nothing.

Someone doesn’t understand that Marianne Faithfull is an actress as well as a singer. Perhaps any mention of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby or Dean Martin should also be banned because they happen to be singers as well as actors. Some people are just born troublemaker’s.

The Loew’s Kings video is the same one posted by Dan in PLG on Sep 29, 2006 at 4:52pm. It is also the same video in a downloadable form posted by Dan in PLG on Oct 1, 2006 at 8:49am. Getting desperate for comments fella.

Let’s remember fella that you are not in charge. Perhaps you should start your own website.

The Sticky Fingers album had the hit song ‘Brown Sugar’. By the time that album was released Marianne Faithfull was already hooked on drugs. Perhaps the words to the song ‘Sister Morphine’ were more a cry for help then they were lyrics to a song. A pity that her life took such a horrible turn into the world of drugs.

Thanx fella’s. Now I understand why I was not familiar with the movie Maxigasm. The first hit song by Marianne Faithfull ‘As Tears Go By’ was co-written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. You can catch her early acting in the 1967 flick ‘I’ll Never Forget What’s 'is Name’ with Orson Welles.

Was the Maxigasm the movie that the Rolling Stones were supposed to appear in? I’m not familiar with the movie premise and never saw it. Is it available in stores? Perhaps I have Maxigasm confused with another movie.

Much of the nudity was gratuitous to be sure. I would prefer nudity in movies to senseless violence. Horror movies became so graphic that they required an ‘R’ rating just for the violence. Older sci-fi and horror movies told a story without the gory violence and realism. I enjoy the older movies much more.

Fella’s I found a website that has old movies on dvd for low prices. You could get 5 movies for $25.00 Not a bad deal.

Perhaps what many found objectionable about the movie Lipstick PKoch was the subject matter and not so much the nudity. Margaux Hemingway brings charges against the rapist but he is not convicted. I presume that would upset many people especially womens rights groups of the 70’s. Reincarnation of Peter Proud in 1975 was another movie that many people objected to. Not only for nudity but more importantly the subject of incest. In my opinion the issue of nudity was used to denounce these movies but the subject matter was the most disturbing to many people. For the most part these movies dealt with issues that were not discussed by most people and it both frightened and outraged them. Perhaps it was a sign of the new morality in the 1970’s.

We could talk about movies PKoch. How much more can the same people talk about this one theatre. I do contribute ‘Warren’. I am helping to get the Ridgewood Theatre land marked. What do you do to contribute fella other then post the same movie ad in multiple theatres.

There are a few interior photo’s already posted by KenRoe. Perhaps you could use those NativeForestHiller. On the RKO Madison Theatre listing Vik was going to take some photo’s of the Ridgewood Theatre and post them. Perhaps Vik forgot to take the photo’s.

Where are we in the land mark process fella’s. I have not received any emails from the Ridgewood theatre for awhile. Do we need to contact anyone else? Perhaps we need better organization. Would someone like to take the lead and be in charge of this process?

Very cool photo fella’s. The red automobile appears to be a 1957 Plymouth.

This theatre was operated by the Endicott Circuit in the 1940’s.

This website called Graduates From Rockaway In 1968 mentions an Edgemere Theatre. Perhaps one of those people could come here and contribute their memory of this theatre. One passage reads;‘Harvey Brody, Class of 1968, joins us from Scotia, New York and reminisces about Jack and Lenny’s skee ball, the Edgemere Theater, the Central Deli, and Duff’s Jewelry on Central Avenue.'

Very cool photo Bway. The marquee in your first link appears to be much nicer then the current marquee I have seen photo’s of. The verical sign should be restored to give the Ridgewood theatre a more classic look.

The photo’s of the Commodore theatre are very sad. Perhaps much of the damage was intentional which would make it less desirable and cost effective to continue using this building as a theatre. Why would anyone permit the roof damage to exist and allow the elements to destroy the interior of the building? Surely the roof could have been covered or patched somehow.

A school replacing a former theatre is not such a bad thing micheleandanniegirl. The theatre entertained people and the school will educate them. Perhaps someone local could take photo’s before too much of the theatre interior is demolished.
