What great looking Marquee!thanks Ken mc for putting it on.
I believe I once read that the arch was created by Gutzon Borglum, who also did Mt. Rushmore. Does anybody have any information on this?
Here is a 1967 photo:

It looks like all hell broke loose on this, of all pages. All I have to say is I’m thrilled with the Life picture. It’s great! That’s the marquee I remember as a little boy in the late 50’s.
Okay folks, wrap up the squabbling. I’m in a comment deletion mood today and will start doing that for any and all antagonistic comments. This is a page for the Stamford Theatre — not for conflict.
If you posted a comment over the past few days and it’s gone now, that’s why. Have a good weekend …

I hear where you are coming from on this. I, for one, don’t list my contact info because I used to get into fights with Paul Warshauer, and other people like that, on this site all the time. I don’t want people who I view as genuinely unscrupulous having my contact info. That doesn’t happen anymore. But the Internet is still a big, strange place.
Even if you don’t want to share your info, you can go to this web address and set up a personal blog. Then you can talk privately all you want:

I agree, but it’s impossible to conduct discussions privately when some members conceal their identities and e-mail addresses.
Cut it out guys. I just checked my email account an found a mountain of comment notifications. My two cents says that misterboo should defend himself, and that he really doesn’t care about being cited. I know I would not care about being cited. But if you want to continue the debate I respectfully ask that you do so privately.
Because I don’t agree with you. If you think you’re right, please continue, but no one else is going to do it for you. That’s the last comment from me on this page.
Why? Is it too much work to add “Thanks to misterboo for the link”. I prefer not to follow people posting that message, but I will if it is too much work for you to do.
Since the whole credit thing is based on your rather dubious premise, if you want misterboo to get his just rewards you’ll just have to be extra vigilant.
I can agree with that. But the person posting the link should give him credit for the link so I won’t have to go around this site doing it.
That’s my point exactly. Give him the credit if it means that much to you, and everyone stop beating the dead horse. Not worth the time.
Why would “misterboo” want to come back here? He has already been ripped off once. Why run that risk again? And I will continue to give him credit for those photo links.
The link was on Google that morning, but since I was in the middle of a trial the judge would have frowned on me playing with my laptop. In any event, we shouldn’t waste more space on this issue. We’re going to post the photos, which are all interesting, and you can credit whomever you want. I really don’t care one way or the other.
Ease up Lost Memory. No one needs you to be the photo credit police, and “misterboo” is certainly welcome to make his own case.
Common knowledge to who? No one else posted a link to those photos until AFTER he posted the first link. No one else was probably aware of that source or they would have linked to those photos. If you were aware of that source I’m sure that you would have linked to it also.
To date, “misterboo” seems to have made exactly one post to Cinema Treasures, a link to a Life/Yahoo photo of the Brentwood Theatre(at listing #2367). While his contribution is certainly most welcome, I don’t understand why “Lost Memory” believes that other members must genuflect to “misterboo” whenever they post a link to Life/Yahoo photos. By the time that “misterboo” posted on 11/20/08 at 6:47pm, the Life/Yahoo archive was common knowledge, widely reported in the news media. “Misterboo” just happened to be the first CT member to take advantage ot it. Bravo to him, and let’s move on!
I’m making it my job “ziggy”. Do you have a problem with that? “misterboo” is or was a new member. You might now have seen many posts from him because he didn’t get a chance to post the photos that HE found!
Who the heck is “misterboo”? I’ve never heard of him, and never seen a single post from him. If he’s so concerned about getting credit for the photos he has supposedly found why doesn’t he speak for himself, and why does “lost memory” think it’s his job to defend him?
Photos that were shot and cataloged but never selected for actual publication? I have to figure that Life photographers took many more photos than those that actually made it into the magazine pages.
Ken, during Life’s history, I must have read every issue published, and I don’t recall that many photographs showing theatres, even in the backgrounds. The most famous was probably the color shot of Gloria Swanson standing in the ruins of the Roxy Theatre.
Birds of a feather….
I hope that you eventually find that memory, wherever you lost it. You’re just not making sense.
Thanks, Warren. What’s interesting is that Google mentions a million photos, but each category seems to be capped out at 200. There must be a trick to accessing the rest of the photos that I haven’t figured out yet.
