Whenever I catch a showing of Hitchcock’s the Rope, I imagine this theater and the Manhattan location of that particular period frequented by the so-called “carriage trade”.

TPH commented about 68th Street Playhouse on Nov 6, 2009 at 9:34 am

Very much miss the eclctic programming of the 68th St. When it closed, the Eastside Playhouse was supposed to pick up its mantle with similar scheduling, but never lived up to the challenge. If I recall, the RE telephone exchange stood for Rector.

Are there any archive links to photos of the previous marquee when the theater was still known as the Gramercy Park?

This is terrific news Lorcan. Having attended a theater performance there some years ago I’m delighted to hear that you are bringing movies back to the venue. I’m impressed with your strategy of presenting the new along with 60’s classics. Let us know if you need programming suggestions.

TPH commented about Grand Theatre on Nov 5, 2009 at 1:44 pm

The Grand survived well into the 60’s. As noted in a comment on the Republic Theater’s site, the Grand became a Premiere Showcase outlet when that venture was rolled out. It suddenly was catapulted to “first-run” status.
