The 1970 IMPA puts the Kameo in Brooklyn, but I think it’s a typo. This was under the Brandt theater listing. There’s a half page of Brandt theaters, but to narrow it down here is Brooklyn and the Bronx:
Bronx: Post Road Bainbridge, Laconia, Lido, Melba, Wakefield, Ascot, Earl, Kent, Luxor, Bronx Square, Park Plaza, Surrey
It looks pretty small for a skating rink. They must have been bumping into the walls a lot.
Looks like the function should be changed to retail.

Take a look at the interior photos of the State I posted a few months ago. That could be quite a venue.
The 1981 IMPA shows these Video Independent theaters in Lawton:
Vaska, 82nd Street Twin Drive-In, Video Twin Theater, Showcase Twin.
In 1970 the lineup was a bit different: Lawton, Diana, Vaska, Ritz, Auston Drive-In, Capitol Drive-In.
I think you’re right. I was looking at that close to six a.m. Not at my best.
It looked like five-something to me, but it could be a six.
Snow White was playing at the Surf Theater.

Aha. Thank you.

Brooklyn: Carlton, Deluxe, Earl, Regent, Sanders, Sutter, Kameo (sic), Astor Shore.
By 1963 the Ritz and Strand were gone, and the Mesa Drive-In in Camden had been added, according to the IMPA of that year.
