Opened in 1967 by Loews, the old South Shore Mall Theater in Bayshore shut its doors in the mid-1990’s. Once a single screener, a wall was installed down the middle to convert this to a twin.
The lobby was converted into a leather store, while the theater itself remained completely intact behind a gated area.

To think 24 years ago I managed that theater….How can you forget Bill Simon sitting in the parking lot watching my staff goof off :–) A very Special tribute to a True Gentleman, Bill Martin….God Bless you and your family….May you rest in peace my friend….to all my other friends…God Bless you all wherever you are….Patrick H.
Another one-time Loews to add to my list.
Patrick,More on Bill Simon.was he the City Manager,because I had the same problem with “SPYS”.
Is there a way to suggest new info for the overview blurb? The theater was torn down a few years ago to make room for the new Sears building at that end of the mall. Incidentally, I never was in this when it was a single-screen. As a two-screener I can remember seeing Batman here in 1989 and I think I might have alos seen Start Trek III here.
Moviegoer click on about in the heading and follow the prompts to notify the folks at CT about an update.
Trying to pin point just when this theater closed. I’ve been using New York Magazine listings to do that for some other local theaters. Unfortunately, sometime in 1994, the Magazine apparently stopped listing shows for Long Island. In June 1994, this was showing The Crow and Maverick. By November 1994 the magazine had stopped listing LI theaters.
Wow. I moved to Bay Shore in 2005 and never got to see the space that is shown in the picture. Unfortunately all I and the rest of the area get to see is a ugly green baricade. The theatre was just the beginning to many other closings at the mall.
Hello Mike Rogers…..Absolutely….The One and Only Spy Himself….Bill Simon….Prior to Managing the Bayshore, I had the pleasure of managing the Trylon on Queens Blvd…and yes….The Spy lurked among us….LOL…Thats allright….25 years of Law Enforcement now and no internal complaints made….I owe it to Bill….I know he’s still watchin me….Best Wishes my Friend….Patrick <><
This looks like the Howard Theatre in Lebanon Pennsylvania. It too started out as a single screen and was twinned. The Howard was demolished in the early 2000’s.
Hey Mike….I posted a pic I found of Myself, Bill, and the staff from summer of 1986…..Patrick <><
