Sad to see it’s not only New York where this happens. In Europe I saw buildings hundreds of years old and in the US we are already replacing things we built in the 60’s.
What is this new annoying trend to not put titles on marquees? The minute AMC took over they put up a generic message on the marquee for Roosevelt Field.
Easter 1958 because of it’s long running time “A Farewell to Arms” went out on the RKO circuit single with a short subject. The Loew’s theatres are playing a re-release of a Shirley Temple film and “Gullivers Travels”. View link

Did anyone ever re-open the Madison for a short time after RKO? A projectionist I worked with said an independent opened it up again for the summer after RKO closed it. The last time I was there it was still an RKO, but I do remember going past when it was closed for good and on the marquee covering the RKO signs were large metal Coca-Cola signs. They looked odd there but seemed to be there to cover up the RKO logo.
Even in 1966 it’s shocking for Othello to be playing like this at the Madison, Bushwick and Kenmore.

I wish our chamber of commerce would do something to help save the stadium, its sitting empty decaying.

Sad that by 1966 the Fox was playing a second run double bill that was also playing all over town.

We know for sure it was open until August of 1977 (see my ad above for Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane)

Did anyone see GWTW yet? I want to go Wednesday but am not thrilled it will probably be the print the Loew’s Jersey ran last year.
