My mom’s name was Alba. She told me she went to this theatre when they played Spanish-language movies.

I saw a movie there two weeks ago. They not only have the self-service ticketing machines in the front but they also now have them at the box office. They had two people at the box office to help patrons. Soon we won’t have any one selling tickets.

Willburg145 commented about New Victory Theater on Jul 10, 2018 at 10:08 pm

I wonder what it looked like when it showed porn. I’m sorry I didn’t check out the theatres in Times Square but I was scared. I began working in the area in 1988 so I had time to check out movies at the now gone theatres.

I wish I had a camera with me when I visited the Polk sometime in the late 1990’s. This area was in shambles. The restrooms were in deplorable conditions. It looked like they had been vandalized.

I’ve been to this theatre many times. I enjoy going during the early part of the day when it isn’t crowded and cheaper. I also like venturing out to Cobble Hill. I don’t like the design of this building. It’s too minimalist for my tastes.

Where did this great photo come from? Year? Hopefully someone will find a picture of the interior.
