i lived on hart st. between broadway and stuyvesant ave. every
saturday i went to the movies at the broadway regardless of what
was playing. almost every kid in the neighborhood was there.
sometimes in the fifties the name went from the lowe’s broadway
to the century broadway and then became a spanish speaking movie
house. wong’s restaurant was up the block and some kids actually
took out lunch there and brought it to the movies. when things
got dull the guys would run through the balcony and the matron
would run after them. while the matron was upstairs someone would
open the side doors and let kids in. my friend’s mother use to take us to the movies on a weekday night and get free dishes.
i loved that movie.
