i managed this theater 1 day when the manager was a no show a nice local theater that was run down .Strange as this may sound the thing i remember most about the theater was the bathrooms were inside the auditorium never have seen that again in any other theater.
This theater closed around 1983 give or take, the box office # for i pass this theater every day this theater bad for years. I pass this theater every day and the birds love it. never had good parking
The YORK THEATER LOCATED ON ROUTE 110 IN HUNTINGTON OPENED AROUND THE SAME TIME AS THE WHITMAN .THE YORK ALMOST IDENTICAL IN LOOKS TO THE WHITMAN.ITS MAIN CLAIM TO FAME FOR CENTURY WAS ONE OF THE STRONGEST DISNEY HOUSES IN THE CHAIN ALWAYS DID SO WELL.SO THEY BOOKED R RATED MOVIES MOSTLY HERE,TYPICAL RKO/CENTURY.
NEVER A BUSY THEATER FOR RKO UNLIKE ITS SISTER THEATER COMMACK TWIN BOTH BUILT AS TWINS, THE LONGEST AUDITORIUM YOU EVER SAW . The lobby in both theaters had smoked mirrors ,the best thing about these theaters were the candy stands and ladies rooms each stall had its own sink and mirrors.
This was one of rko busyest twins on long island the theater is the last rko twin still open(now loews cineplex)The theater has an odd lease were it can never open matinee except sat ,sun and legal holidays.AN UGLY TWIN BAD SEATS BUT ALWAYS DID GREAT BSNS.
THIS WAS A GREAT OLD TIME MOVIE HOUSE ALWAYS OVERSHADOWED BY THE LOEWS KINGS.Even as a quad still nice and cineplex odeon renovation of this theater was great.
This theater always had two managers both who ran the theater for almost 40 years.The second floor or the penthouse was run by a man NICK G. The main floor was run by Genave.All the RKO theaters called this theater every night with daily box office #.
they left this theater open for years because they had a 100 year lease , the last 4 years they had wanted to put in a 10 plex but the town would not give them the permits..
century had 5 theaters on this street in there hayday .comedy and tragedy masks in this auditorium like many of the other century theaters. Never a shining star in century chain but famous for playing ET for 56 weeks.
