DavidZornig commented about Vogue Theatre on Aug 19, 2019 at 6:51 pm

In hindsight, the two provinces are 2 hours apart, so since the photo was found on a Remembering Stratford facebook page, it is likely not the Vogue in Leamington.

Undated photo added via Kathy Robinson Vaters. I believe this to be the Vogue in Leamington, and it was possibly on Ontario Street. If not the there was a Vogue Theatre in Stratford that there seems to be no record of, even though it was open from prior to the 50s and at least early80s. Below link mentions other area theatres.

Little Theatre was denied a scheduled screening of “Fight Club” by Fox/Disney, and apparently many others for them and other theatres going forward.

DavidZornig commented about Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theatre on Aug 13, 2019 at 5:11 am

Photo & description added courtesy Captain Bijou Facebook page.

“Filming Tom Ewell and Marilyn Monroe exiting a theatre playing THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) for the comedy classic SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955), directed by Billy Wilder.”

Per IMDB: “The New York movie theater that’s supposedly showing Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) was really showing the Leslie Caron movie LILI (1953) at the time; the side of the theater visible to viewers had the "Creature” title on the marquee (along with a standee of monster and maiden on top of it), but the front of the theater marque (not visible) was still listing “Lili”. A photo of the theater with all “conflicting” marquees visible was tacked up in the Fox photo department for decades."

“That movie house was the Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theatre, located at 586 Lexington Avenue. It closed in 1965 and has since been demolished.”

As mentioned above, Fox Cinema II should be added as previous name, or final name which it likely was.

Just to clarify it opened as the Egyptian, in what appears to be August 1926. The Ada name was in the `50s. Images added.
