I grew up in Westchester from 1966 to 1991. I had my first date at this theatre in the 6th grade. Before that I use to go with my parents we saw Damnation Alley and many others! When I was older I wnt with my friends and we would sit in the crying room so we could be super silly and not bother anyone! It wasn’t as fancy as the Loyola but it was nice…..lots of great memories growing up in westchester!!! I am in San Diego now.
I GREW UP IN WESTCHESTER FROM 1966 TO 1991. THIS WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THEATRE EVER! IT WAS SO FANCY I TOO USED TO GET FREE TICKETS FROM THE BANK AND PURCHASE CANDY (RED VINES) AT SAVONS BEFORE HEADING ACROSS THE STREET TO THE LOYOLA THEATRE. THERE WAS AN AMAZING SWIRL BLACK RED AND WHITE CARPET ALL THROUGHOUT AND WHEN THE CURTAIN CAME DOWN IT WAS THIS GLORIOUS RED VELVET. THE BATHROOM HAD A CASCADE OF STAIRS FLOWING DOWN TO IT AND FANCY SEATS AND VANITIES TO POWDER YOUR NOSE!. IT WAS ALWAYS SUCH A SPECIAL EXPERIENCE TO GO THERE I WILL FOREVER CHERISH THOSE MEMORIES,. I AM SURE IF THEY HAD PRESERVED THE ENTIRE THING IT WOULD HAVE CONTINUED TO BE SUCCESSFUL!
