Great intro as always Ken, interesting story of the organ being installed in the EMI studios,I wonder if it is still there and how many artists have used it in their recordings?
BALCONY OPEN:During my days a doorman/usher I remember the balcony being open for the Disney movie “Son of Flubber” a reissue in black and white and we sold out the house that night.I got to work the balcony and remember the cheers and laughter of the crowd that night,it was quite an experence for a 15 year old kid,those were the days,we always did quite well with the Disney product,new and old,the Loews Madison ran day and date with us but the Melrose always had higher boxoffice numbers for some reason.
30 years ago tonight after working my shift as manager of this theatre while driving home I heard the the news of John Lennons death over the radio in my my car,it was a Monday night I will never forget it,I do not not remember what movie we were showing.I do remember that a friend of mine also now deceased,we went to a local bar and gave our respects.
No disrespect Native,I was just thinking that with all the interest and comments of this theatre it should surely have more support at being saved than many other theatres,Once again good luck in you efforts.
Thanks Chuck, the header has been just updated as you probably know, there may not be dates but there are years mentioned,many times.Martin theatres ran this theatre about 1 or 2 years after Loews left. The exact dates I do not know. Thanks Mike, I will check out Nicks postings.
Another good one gone.
Thanks Mike, got those old ads out?
Thanks for the photo Ken.
