I cane across some news paper ads the other day that listed the World Theatre, it made me think of Harry Wald, he was a very personable person and his trade mark was his big cigar sticking out of the corner of his mouth bouncing up and down as he talked. He used to come over to the Loew’s State to but quarters when he ran low and would chat while he was there. Nick Manzella was the Asst. Magr. along with John Muich at the time and they would chat up about how the theatres used to be. He would tell aboutr all the different stages that the World went through. A very interesting story teller.

There’s a nice nighttime view of the World, with all its neon, about five minutes into The Hoodlum Priest (1961), shown this week on Turner Classic Movies.

Sure wish dates of original entries were given…which came first, the CinemaTreasures or the CinemaTour entry?…with two different submitters and very similar copy.

The building permit for the Broadway was issued in 1910 and the architect of record listed as the firm of Duggan & Huff. Name changed to the CAMEO in 1930; to the HOLLYWOOD in 1931; to the HOLLYWOOD NEWSREEL in 1945 and, finally, to the WORLD in 1946.
