Ace Theater 95-02 101Aveā€¦. In 1938, Samuel Rinzler and Louis Frish bought the property under the name Randforce Amusement Co. They ran a chain of movie theaters in Queens and Brooklyn. At the Ozone Park corner, they opened the Ace Movie theater. The 1948 photo shown above indicates it was a lower-end operation showing old cut-rate movies. The two flicks on the marquee were originally released in 1942 and 1936, respectively. Not much is known about this mystery theater. Its name disappeared from the Queens telephone book after 1953.
