You’re probably right, Bway, and I don’t think that there’s much that we on CT can do, except e-sign another petition, once Michael Perlman gets one going.
Hi, Joe G. I didn’t know you went to SFP. Yes, I think Bro. Campion coached baseball. I had him for 11th year math, pre-calculus, and calculus. Yes, I know how upperclassmen treated the frosh. But when I attended the Prep, I lived in Ridgewood, not Bushwick. I knew Bro. Cyprian very well. I never knew he was principal of Lourdes. Thanks for mentioning it. If I DID know, I had forgotten. I had him for A.P. American History in the 1971-72 academic year, got a 4 on the A.P. Test. “Your results are in proportion to your efforts !”
Principal of Lourdes : Now that you mention it, I do remember him as being prejudiced against blacks, and going on a long rant once about having his ass kicked down a flight of stairs by blacks. That could have been his experience at Lourdes, although I remember him also talking about a parochial school in Park Slope and President Street.
I have heard of the film “The Gospel According to St. Matthew”, and have heard it described as Christ always yelling at his disciples. I know the Meserole well, saw “2001” there with Bro. A. Edward Wesley and class in Nov. 1970. I’ve posted plenty on the Meserole Theatre page. I also know McCarren Park well.
Good for you meeting Bobby Kennedy before he was assassinated.
Yes, $ 250 per is too rich for me too. I didn’t even attend the Class of 1973 35-year reunion back on April 25th.
Joe Bettinger, SFP Class of 1970, from 16 Grant Avenue, Cypress Hills, was a personal friend of mine.
Thanks for letting us know, Bway, but I’m sorry to read the sad news about both the Eagle Theatre and your forgetting your memory card for your camera.
I wonder what will be built in the Eagle Theater’s place ?
I attended SFP 1969-1973. One of my teachers, Brother Campion Lally, was involved with the move from Baltic to N. 6th St. in 1952 as a student back then : Robert Lally. He was a classmate of yours. Do you remember him ? He was one of the January 1953 graduates, I think.
COME ALIVE ! YOU’RE IN THE PEPSI GENERATION !
TASTE THAT BEATS THE OTHERS COLD !
PEPSI POURS IT ON !
I wish Joan Crawford had been at the Madison for “I Saw What You Did” in the summer of 1965, when I went there to see it.
Yes, Lost Memory, it sounds much better.
You’re probably right about the Ridgewood listing in the NY Daily News. Thanks for posting your idea here.
Thanks, Lost Memory. Either great minds dial alike, or theater nerds rarely differ !
You’re probably right, Bway, and I don’t think that there’s much that we on CT can do, except e-sign another petition, once Michael Perlman gets one going.
I just re-dialed it, and got a message saying that the number had been temporarily disconnected.
I just dialed (718) 821 – 5993, and got a busy signal. Is THAT the correct phone number ?
Thanks, wally75 !
Thanks, RobertR and Lost Memory !
Too bad Joan Crawford wasn’t there, too, to be served a dead rat on a plate by Bette Davis !
Either on the stage of the RKO Madison or next door at the Ridgewood Terrace Chinese Restaurant !
Thanks, Warren. That’s good to know.
That makes sense, LuisV. Unfortunately.
I can understand 117-09 117th Street, but not 116th Street.
Could this contradictory information have anything to do with the RKO Keith Richmond Hill’s current problems ?

I don’t know, Bway. Let’s continue to keep an eye on this theatre.
Thanks, Bill P. Do you mean the RKO Bushwick or the Loew’s Gates ?
Thanks, Bway. What can we do about it ?
Thanks for letting us know, Bway, but I’m sorry to read the sad news about both the Eagle Theatre and your forgetting your memory card for your camera.

Welcome to Cinema Treasures, depaul420.
I remember a blue flourescent clock in the Ridgewood and RKO Madison Theatres.
As in the Hanseatic League of shipping in 14th century Europe ?
Thanks, depaul420. Glad to read that.
Did you also see them eating next door to the RKO Madison at the Ridgewood Terrace Chinese Restaurant ?
Thank you, Bill Proefriedt. Welcome to CT ! You would also be welcome at Bushwick Buddies :

Thanks, Warren. I didn’t know that the Imperial Theatre once showed German-made films.
Thanks, Ellie !
Thanks, Staten Island Ellie ! Please tell us about the big stain on the screen !
Probably the one at the top of this page.
