Tiffany Theatre

Nice picture of the tiffany, bring back great memories. Lived in brownsville 1946-1991 in brownsville houses. I rememeber going there one time to see burt lancaster in the Crimson Pirates, there was seats maybe the boxes came in later years. I know when it closed it became a church, which it still is.

Here is the photo that Izzy of Bklyn mentioned in a comment above.

What is the evidence to support the “e” before “r” spelling of “theater” in the name “Tiffany Theater?” Couldn’t such arguments be avoided by listing theatres just by their names— in this case, just Tiffany? I’m presently looking at a page of ads in the Brooklyn Eagle of 4/3/1927 for cinemas and playhouses, and I can find only two theatres, the Fulton and Tilyou, using the “T” word after the name. All the others say just Loew’s Metropolitan, Majestic, Flatbush, E.F. Albee, Werba’s Brooklyn, Mark Strand, Teller’s Shubert, William Fox Savoy, or whatever, followed usually by a location. Everybody knew that these were theatres. The addition of the word wasn’t necessary.

A Wurlitzer organ Opus 1553 Style E was installed in the Tiffany Theater on 1/12/1927.

The Tiffany Theater was indeed located at the corner of Chester Street and Livonia Ave. Other theaters located under this el were: The Sutter, Livonia, Ambassador, Peoples Cinema and Supreme.
