Thanks, Warren. I’ll keep that in mind the next time I look through that issue.

Thanks, Lost Memory. No, I don’t know when the Reo / Wagner Theatre opened.

What does the Reo Theatre have to do with the Wagner Theatre ?

There is a photo of the Evergreen Theatre in the 100-year anniversary supplement of the Times Newsweekly (formerly the Ridgewood Times)dated October 23, 2008. Perhaps a link to it will be posted here on the Evergreen Theatre page.

Kitty Genovese was murdered in 1964. Her murder was the exception, rather than the rule, in Kew Gardens. So far as I know, Kew Gardens is now a safe place to live.

The Austin Cinema became the Kew Gardens Cinema. Yes, both were cool. The marquee and sign of the Austin were much more conspicuous than that of the Kew Gardens Cinema.

No, the Madison Theatre (1410 Broadway) probably would have been gone by the 1940’s and ‘50’s.

No, Warren, the Madison Theatre on this page was at 1410 Broadway, next to the RKO Bushwick, near the corner of Broadway and Madison Street. It was a silent movie theatre.

The Monroe was a sound movie theatre nearby, but at a totally different address, 4 Howard Avenue, between Monroe and Madison Streets, across Howard Avenue from the RKO Bushwick Theatre.

Glad you LOL, LM. Thanks.

I’m not spending $ 20 for a quarterly newsletter.

Yes, LM, I think it does. I’ll check.

$ 20 for one e-mail address ? That’s worse than $ 10 for the 100 year anniversary Ridgewood Times !

You’re welcome, Panzer65.

Thanks, Bway, for your comment. An intriguing rumor, indeed.

Would joining the RHHS help the RKO Keith Richmond Hill Theatre, though ?

good idea, Lost Memory. BTW, what’s the CT # for the Evergreen Theatre thread, in case I want to post on it ?

Keep after me, LM, I’ll bring that picture of the Evergreen Theatre from the 100th anniversary supplement in, and post about it.

Yes, Jim. Anything to grease the wheels. Seriously, though, yesterday, because I do not have Diane Freel’s e-mail address, I e-mailed Dennis Doyle, master of the Richmond Hill website, the e-mail I had sent the late Ms. Cataldi at the end of September 2008. Hopefully he can forward it to her.

I may re-send it to Nancy Cataldi’s e-mail address, in the hope that Diane Freel is reading e-mail that is still being sent there.

There’s not much more I can do for the RKO Keith Richmond Hill, because I don’t live in Queens any more.

Good idea, BrooklynJim.

Who, or what, is going to bail out the U. S. government, though ?

My father remembers the Monroe Theatre well, went there often as a boy, and still talks about it.

Yes. My father was born in Bushwick Hospital in late October 1919.

I’ll look at it again, Lost Memory.

Yes, memories seem to get more expensive, faster than anything else.

See short story by Philip K. Dick, “We can remember it for you wholesale”, upon which the 1990 film, “Total Recall”, was based.
