the belvedere had no balcony to my recollection it was agood theatre for 20 cents back in the 40s and if prograam was no good….five blocks to the acme or five blocks in opposite direction to trhe glenwood,,,,seems to me the Grandview, Belvedere And Majestic inn ridgewood were all managed by same men…i would always see this little guy in alll three theatre and sometimes he was on stage givigout screeno prizes
for those seeking info on perhaps another EAGLE theatre in brooklyn please see cinema treaures site on the LUXOR THEATER for more information on the old EAGLE Movie house on central av in bushwick new york the name was luxor either before 1938 or after 1950 feel free to contact me
as for the monroe it was one of the few that showed THREE 3 features as well as newsreels , shorts,cartoons and serials all for 10 cents what a great place for kids ..we would walk there from ridgewood to save the trolley=fareof 5 cents …if we didnt like the program we would go the EAGLE on centyral avenue near woodbine street …tthis is circa 1938-48 I might mention the reader should look at the LUXOR theatre site in cinema treasures for further information about the EAGLE (luxor) one triple bill at the MONROE i remeber was Frankenstein, Flash Gordon and THe Ghoul what a fright bill@!! i wsh i had saved some of the programs from the Monroe, Eagle and Oasis among many others …as a kid i went to the glenwood, acme, belvedere, madison, oasis,parthenon,wyckoff and many many others we used “shoe leather” for transport
well do iremeber the oasis on fresh pond rd and menahan street i lived on woodbine st only 5 blocks away….from 1940 to 1954 i saw some great double bills there ir remember Fredric March in One foot in heaven and jimmy durante in Youre in trhe army now…in 1944 i believe….a great movie house with wonderful soundsystem "
i went to the eagle many times because they showed three features, a short, a serial and cartoons all for TEN CENTS //we walked from fresh oond road to central avenue to sve 5 centson the trolley…what the heck it was 1938 and i was only a ten year old kid…happy memories…i understand the area has deteriorated badly if anyone remembers this theatre please feel free to communicate many thanks bill metz email ….
