Comfortably Cool commented about Oct 29, 1929 newspaper ad. on Oct 31, 2019 at 8:30 pm

I’ve already posted a link to this ad in the Portage comments section. The ad was originally uploaded by me at the listing for the Crown Theatre. Please stop copying my original uploads. You’ve done it many times under one of your other numerous aliases at this website, dating back to “Lost Memory” and “Granola.”

Comfortably Cool commented about Fox Theatre on Oct 30, 2019 at 5:00 pm

When the Roxy Theatre suspended stage shows for a special two-week engagement of “The Big Trail” in the wide-screen Grandeur process, its 32 “dancing darlings” transferred to the Fox in downtown Brooklyn. For the troupe’s second week at the Fox, “The Big Trail” took the screen, but in standard ratio.

Comfortably Cool commented about Eros Theatre on Oct 28, 2019 at 1:14 pm

According to a travel article on “Mumbai’s Art Deco Gems” in the October 27th, 2019 issue of The New York Times, the Eros Cinema is now closed, “so if you want to catch a film, you’d have to go to the Regal, which nowadays means you’re more likely to see something from Bollywood than Hollywood.”

Since Loew’s Jersey had been sub-divided by that time, “Dolemite” was presented on screen #3. Two nights later, Rudy Ray Moore made a special guest appearance at the Jersey, the last stop of a three-day itinerary.

This distributor’s poster mentions “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which wasn’t released until 1963, nine years after “Sabrina” (1954). So did this cinema play “Sabrina” originally and/or later as a reissue?

Comfortably Cool commented about Scala Lichtspiele #2 on Oct 25, 2019 at 9:28 pm

This must have been a reissue poster for “Sabrina” (1954), since mention is made of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (not released until 1961).
