A list of theater openings in the August 27, 1949, issue of Boxoffice included the following item: “Northport, L.I.— Joe Mirosola to open new Larkfield Theatre, 600 seats, $175,000, August 30.”

Thank you! I suspected that it opened in the early 50s. The old marquee almost looked like it was from the 1940s- so there we go! I wish someone would post pictures of the inside lobby!

One more thought about the Larkfield; I NEVER recall standing on a line to get in. Ever. I think because all they showed was second runs.

Bloop — could you post some of your Larkfield ads in the photos section? I really enjoyed seeing them.

And has the Bakers' daughter contacted you? I was very fond of her parents and I’d love to share some memories with her.

I will look for them and post them. Never heard from Baker’s granddaughter after the old posts on here….

I added a new photo of Larkfield circa 1976. It was taken from an old East Northport Junior High School yearbook. Sorry for the poor quality , but you can see the sign (which had red neon).

I probably put those titles up on that marquee, since I worked there in 1976.

Thanks for the photo.
