Charles Theatre

This theatre was built for a private owner named CHARLES ROOK. He could only get second run product. His motto was “REMEMBER, it’s NEW until YOU have seen it.” He lived at the GREYSTONE hotel on the next block. He usually stood at the door and greeted the patrons. Later years, I worked there as a union projectionist when ABC was running it. They were showing chopped up X rated at the time. A bank is now on that spot.
