This theater may have been called the Franklin Art in 1973, according to Boxoffice magazine: (heres a better link from the Landmark Syracuse page)
Very true Al….Dear Cineplex Odeon, back in 1997 I knowingly stole a gold curtain from the Cineplex Odeon Art Greenwich, a theatre of yours located at the time of the theft at 97 Greenwich Avenue.I humbly aplogize as I was very inmature at the time and was inconsiderate of your feelings and property. I am a different person these days and would never convieve of committing another act like that.
back in 1997 during a showing of Daylight, my friend Paul dared me to take the 10 foot tall by 10 foot wide gold curtain on the wall from here…it was barely hanging from the back wall…I put it under my coat and walked out as non-descript as possible….to this day its part of my backdrop for online pictures..
The Regent theatre’s marquis can be seen in the opening credit picture montage in “Back to School”. The 1985 film starring Rodney Dangerfield. The following can be read… “MISS THIRD AVE BEAUTY CONTEST TODAY PLUS WESTERN”..the Third Avenue El can be seen as well in front of the theatre….
Mike that is an awesome story. Kenny Rogers is a bonafide counrty lehgend, I am proud to have seen him perform twice…How do you feel about his recent facial surgery procedure? Are you pro or con new Kenny Rogers?
I am lucky that I went there on 10/3/2008 for Tokyo Gore Police that was also the night that my wallet fell out of my pocket.I didnt realize it until a few nights later- I traced my steps and realized thats where it was…so I called them up and they had it and it was intact…
I got all reminiscent and decided to do some poking around online- apparently the Duff wasn’t the only New Jack City showing where there was some sort of violence…
November 30th tell all your friends….35mm Double Feature: Blues Brothers and Animal House..
That theatre must have been so ornate, my heart breaks for its loss.
Sadly this sort of thing happens…I am a frequent visitor to The Palace and thank heaven that it is still open and operating at its full glory!

I was just here at this place on April 20th for a showing of Big Lebowski and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas..the mens room has a very low ceiling.
