RobertR commented about Drake Theatre on May 27, 2006 at 10:38 am

Here is a pair of soft X’s from 1972. The company that released them Marvin was a releasing company that put out hundreds of horror, action and soft porn flicks in the 70’s and 80’s. They distributed for dozens of independent companies. At the end of the Rivoli’s life (then the UA Twin) when UA was sabotaging it, the booker for UA said to me “we should have renamed it the Marvin 1 & 2 because that’s all the f%$* we book in there”.

This ad seems to indicate the Savoy was being run by the same owners that had the New Amsterdam and Astor. Was it Cinema Circuit?

Check out this ad from the war years. How odd for a Times Square theatre to have no matinees, the first show was at 530 pm.

I remember playing this double bill in both the Haven and the Drake. Isn’t it odd the Anco is listed above the Criterion?
