Ken Roe commented about Colosseum Theatre on Sep 8, 2006 at 3:10 pm

Originally opened as the Prince’s Theatre in July 1926, it was equipped with an Estey organ that was opened by William Bohm.

It has now been amalgamated with the adjacent Playhouse Theatre and is in use as part of a five venue performing arts center.

Ken Roe commented about Empire Theatre on Sep 5, 2006 at 9:31 am

PKoch…I feel most at ease wandering around Brooklyn’s Broadway district. In fact that goes for most areas I have ventured into in N.Y.C. in recent years. Being a ‘city’ person I am generally aware of my surroundings. My digital camera is the size of a credit card, so its not too noticable and I usually don’t hang around too long…as I know there’s usually another theatre to ‘discover’ further along the block!

A view of the marquee and new ‘Odeon’ sign, photographed just after closing:
http://www.moviebunker.com/odeon_haymarket.htm
The new style Odeon sign went up on the building just weeks before closure! This is a good example of bad sign design as it can only be read correctly from one direction. Here we see it viewed from Piccadilly Circus with the letter ’D' reading correctly. Imagine aproaching from the other direction! A similar situation occurs at the Odeon Camden Town when viewed from the main Camden High Street the letter ’D' reads backwards….Ridiculous!!!
