My father worked as an usher at the Brooklyn Paramount in the 1950’s.
His birthday is coming up, and I’d like to put some pictures together for him. I’ve searched on the internet, but I’ve only found a couple of print-worthy photos. Do you know where I can find some more, either on the web, or to purchase? One final question. I did print out a photo, that was in color, or the marquee. It’s the smaller of the signage, and it has Brooklyn in block white letters, and it almost looks like palm trees in neon next to it. Underneath it says “Stage and Screen Show: Alan Freed in Person.” Since I have not seen another photo with these “Palm trees (or whatnot)”, I wondering if this was part of the Brooklyn Paramount.

All help is greatly appreciated.
