The 1967 FDY lists the Palace as part of the Island Theater Circuit, as Orlando pointed out back in 2004, along with the Majestic, Banco, Starr, Kent and Graham, all in Brooklyn. All these theaters are listed on CT with the exception of the Banco, which doesn’t turn up as an aka either. Anyone heard of that theater?
Thanks. I see that you mentioned the San Juan aka back in April 2005, but it wasn’t added as an aka. You also mentioned the Beverly Hills as an aka for the Audubon.
It seems like we have an exhaustive list of theaters in NYC and Brooklyn. However, I looked for the other four theaters in the Harris chain on CT and didn’t see any of them under their current or former names. I saw a Sunset Theater in Brooklyn but not NYC. There was also the Loew’s Broadway in NYC, but I wasn’t sure if that was the one that Harris was running in 1967. I’m not familiar with NY theaters, so if someone could fill me in I would appreciate it.
Wikipedia says “Hometown is a census-designated place (CDP) in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 1399 at the 2000 census.” You’ll have to read the entire entry if you need to more about these CDP towns.
The Ideal was part of the Olson Circuit in the early sixties. Owner was N. James Olson. At that time, this circuit also ran theaters in Gaylord, Houghton Lake, Rosebush and West Branch, MI.
Verona Lanes was on the Black Horse Pike shortly after you got out of Pleasantville going towards AC. I used to go there and also to Absecon Lanes, which is now some kind of chain restaurant in Absecon.
My 1967 FDY shows the Beach as a Milgram theater, along with the Charles.
My 1967 FDY shows the Coliseum as operated by the Gross Circuit, headquartered in Juneau. President and GM was Zelma Gross. Other Alaska theaters in the circuit at the time were the Coliseum in Haines, the Coliseum in Ketchikan, the 20th Century in Juneau, the Coliseum in Petersburg and the Coliseum in Skagway.
My 1967 FDY lists the Hunts Theaters at that time as follows: Cape May – Beach, Liberty. Stone Harbor – Harbor, Park. Wildwood – Blaker, Casino, Ocean, Shore, Regent, Starlight Ballroom, Strand.

I grew up in South Jersey and undoubtedly saw films in at least some of these theaters, without paying much attention to the theater’s actual identity. I have no idea how many of these are still standing.
In 1967, Mrs. Mabel Kerr, owner of Kerr Theaters, operated the Grand Theater and New Hi Vu Drive-In in Knoxville as well as the Noll Theater and Frontier Drive-In in Bethany, Missouri.
In 1967, the Victoria was operated by Magazzu Enterprises of Mt. Carmel, PA. Other Magazzu theaters at the time were the Angela in Coaldale, the Andrea in Lansford, the Victoria in Tamaqua, the Valley Drive-In in Hometown, the Natalie Drive-In in Natalie and the Victoria in Mt. Carmel.
I drove by the site yesterday. The bank is on an island at the intersection of Sartori and Marcelina. I have a copy of a rather poor quality photo that I will post here. The theater is at the far end of Sartori: http://tinyurl.com/296aa9

This theater shows mostly first run American films, with subtitles.
It’s a team effort.
I added the Sunset at the 125th Street address.
Paging Lost Memory – a little help with the organ question here?
Sure thing, Rodney. “I told my wife I wanted her to talk to me during sex. She said OK. Next night, she called me from a motel”. Ba dum bum.

Do you think that car has been sitting in front of the theater since 1928? It may have picked up a few tickets since then.
