Look at the entries for the Greenport theater. It talks about exactly that.
The 1957 Film Daily Year Book lists a 420-seat Mattituck Theatre on Pike Street, but with no specific building number. In the early days of movies, I believe that the auditorium of the Mattituck public libary was used part-time as a cinema.
ddb65—-THE old auto parts store was the theater then it became a bike shop…i have interior pics of the old theater….
Seen many a flick here. Great theater.
Before the current Mattituck theatre there was one on the opposite side of the road a short distance away. What they did was construct a small, metal Quonset hut and put on a “fancy” facade with a “pointed” marquee. At the point was a large “M”. The building, with observable marquee is still in tact. The next time I’m in the area I’ll make notes of the address current occupant, and post it. I’d do it now but once something is up I don’t believe we have the facility to make updates, only comments. Is this correct?
I haven’t been back to Mattituck in a number of years, but would like to know if the old theatre building is still standing, and if the current tenants have kept the old marquee
Per my comments above the theatre is still standing. Although the marquee is still in place the theatre name has been removed. As I said, it’s very obvious what it was. As my computer skills improve, and I establish the old theatre on this site I may even take a picture.
The old theater is now a sporting goods store called East End Sporting Goods. The “M” is still on the marquee.
And if you’ll notice, I added the old theatre to the site a couple of weeks ago. I was inside and way pointed out some of the remnants of the old theatre hidden in a storage area.
Since I was in the area I stopped in at the theatre today since it was open. I hoped to find out a. whether additional space was added to the original theatre footprint when additional screens were added and, b. the seating capacity of each of the auditoriums. The manager met me at the door, was unwilling to answer any questions and asked me to leave. Must have been trained by the former owners of the Westbury. However, it looked to me that the auditoriums to the left of the lobby MIGHT be additional space since, from the exterior of the building, the higher roof portion is to the right, presumably the original space.
