I knew the Alpines days were numbered, sad the whole theatre business seems to be taking a nosedive.

RobertR commented about Walker Theater on Nov 8, 2005 at 4:29 pm

The Walker is 100% intact behind the retail walls. Remember it was all restored when they quaded it and then it was only used for a few years.

RobertR commented about RKO Madison Theatre on Nov 8, 2005 at 1:13 pm

Lucy and Bob Hope were huge stars when they did this RKO tour in 1963. Until it came out on DVD this film was never revived in repertory houses.
