Great stuff. I started working at the Meralta/Avenue in 1964. The manager was Frank Kovilets (spelling wrong, I’m sure). I lived three blocks away, and had the “fun” of changing the marquees, hauling the prints upstairs to the projection booth, etc. But I’d tended to hang out in the booth and hear tales of the silent days from the old projectionist. That experience helped lay the foundation for my working in the film biz.
I have searched the NEW YORK TIMES archives and have trouble finding ads for the HOH. I am specifically looking for ANYTHING on May 7 of 1908 and 1914. I have a print item from then, but can’t find it in the paper. I heard a rumor the theater name changed at some point and then back again (not the Appollo). Any help would be appreciated.
Different but same result. I have two Viewsonic’s that PERSIST so far permanently. Newest models (past two or so years) don’t seem to have the issue.
Some LCD’s DO need a saver as they can “burn.” :o)
