Not to be confused with the Century's Wantagh, which was two blocks away. This was a discount house that was twinned and died a few years later in the early Eighties.

I saw Peter Pan there in the early 80's. It sat abandoned for a few years then was demolished for a retail store. It was on Wantagh Ave about a block north of the train station.

I saw a lot of movies here in the 70's. It was in a shopping center, no balcony. Not big, not small. Saw "The Sting", "Hard Times", "Obsession", "Poltergeist" when it was doubled.

Check this ad out for "Song of the South" the theatre was known as Cinema Wantagh. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/ChmnofBrd/Coffy.jpg

We from the "T" section of Levit houses used to go to the midnight shows back in the late 70's. We always called it The Wantagh Cinema. Cinema Wantagh sounded odd I guess. But we'd walk the 2 mile stretch down Wantagh Ave on weekend nights when I was in high school (MacArthur) to see Yessongs and Song Remains the Same. I can still see Steve Howe performing "The Clap"
Here is an ad for that show.
