Earl Theatre

Hi,

Does anyone have a high res copy of the Earl. The one listed at /theaters/5968_0_2_0_C/ is only 360 X 480. Does anyone have bigger?

Thanks,
Steve

I saw this theater last night when I went to a Yankee Game. It is currently being used as a sports bar, or at least the lobby on both River Rd, and the other lobby on Jerome Ave is. I don’t know what if anything remains of the interior…any information would be appreciated.

The other entrance referred to by Kyapiko is actually on River Ave, not Jerome Ave (which is in the other side of Yankee Stadium). Was this an alternate entrance for the theater as well? I know the sports bar was using both entrances – I just always assumed the River Ave entry was existing retail space. I added new photos, one a day shot of the 161st Street facade and a night shot of the River Avenue entrance – both taken within the last 3 years or so.

I WORKED AS AN USHER AT THE EARL BUT DID MANY OTHER JOBS THERE, LIKE CHANGE THE MARQUEE WHEN A NEW FILM CAME IN OR CARRY THE FILM CASES UPSTAIRS TO THE PROJECTION ROOM, THE CASES WERE 6 SIDED AND HEAVY, I MISS THE EARL VERY MUCH, I REMEMBER WE USE TO GO ON THE ROOF TO WATCH A BASEBALL GAME IN YANKEE STADIUM, THERE IS A WOOD WATER TANK ON THE ROOF AND UNDER WAS A WOODEN BENCH THAT WE SAT ON,I COULD WRITE SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THE EARL NEXT TO THE EARL WAS THE ( JEROME CAFETERIA ) AND NEXT TO IT ON THE CORNER WAS A NEWSPAPER STORE THAT HAD CIGARETTES FROM AROUND THE WORLD, ACROSS THE STREET WAS A ENTRANCE TO THE SUBWAY AND THERE WAS A STORE WERE I HAD A 2 CENTS PLAIN SODA OR A MILK SHAKE, ON THE EARL SIDE WAS I THINK A BOHACK OR A 6 S SUPERMARKT, AND ACROSS WAS A CHOCK FULL OF NUT COFFEE SHOP, THIS WAS ALL IN THE 1960s AND TO LAST I ALSO CHANGED THE FILM POSTERS AND STILL IN THE SHOW CASES.

ps WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE KENT THEATER IT WAS ONE OF MANY THAT BELONGED TO THE CO. THAT OWNED THE EARL
