NY Times August 11, 1927

As women and children crowded around a man in the lobby of the Supreme Motion-Picture Theatre, Livonia and Williams Avenues, Brooklyn, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, tugging and striking at him while an usher struggled to eject him, the man drew a pistol and fired three shots.

I believe this theater should be listed under East Brooklyn. 11207 & 11208 are considered East New York. The one PO on Pennsylvania and Atlantic is 11207. There are two POs covering 11208. One is on Crescent St near Fulton Street is Cypress Hills Station and the other on Sutter Avenue and Chestnut Street is known as the New Lots station.
