One of the few remaining Jerry Lewis Cinemas, from the failed franchise model, this small family-run theater is currently in retail use.

There was a Jerry Lewis Twin in Niagara Falls,NY. It closed and the auditoriums are used for off-track betting. The lobby was used by an optician but is now vacant.

went porno now an o t b…

The theater that went OTB on the Island was the Rae Twin in New Dorp.
This theatre was at 2166 forest avenue.
In the address above, “Staten Islan” needs to be changed to Staten Island.
The book Going To The Movies On Staten Island wrongly states both this and the Richmond theatre were demolished after closing. I went on Google maps street view and the building is still there. Evidently the Entenmann’s Bakery went out of business and there is a “For Lease” sign on the fence in front.
