I’m doing an article on the ghost-like, neglected Trylon Theater.
I’m looking for quotes about this art-deco masterpiece to get
any information I can about it, i.e. what was its seating capacity,
are there any plans for its future, any people I can contact
about this theater, etc. Also interested in getting some facts about the defunct Elmwood Theater.
E-mail me at

The Trylon Theater should definitely be preserved as a landmark
building. It should be restored to its former self as one of the
last Art Deco theaters in New York City. It had a 60-year run and
it should be taken over by some entrepreneur and made into a
multi-plex so that it can compete with the other movie houses
in the Forest Hills area. The Trylon was the only theater in Rego
Park and the last of the single screen theaters anywhere!!!

I am part of a group looking to facilitate a charity film festival at the Trylon. While I do have others working on contacting the owners any information you could provide, including the name of any owner/rep/agent who will be open to this would be appreciated. My email is:

Thank you.

I attended this theatre all my life and it makes me sick to see it sitting empty and rotting. Before Loews had it it was run by Interboro Theatres.

According to local news sources the real estate firm of “First Home Brokerage”, which has offices next to the Trylon,will demolish it shortly in a planned expansion.

The info you have on the Trylon is incorrect. I live not too far from it & am interested in either purchasing it out right or leasing it in order to bring it back to it’s original luster. It still sits on Queens Blvd. marquee, front ticket booth & front lobby intact. The real estate company which manages the property is very uncooperative and not forth-right with it’s info at all. The owner should fire them based on their nasty receptionist alone! I don’t know what’s going on inside but it is definitely not being used for anything as there is absolutely no activity in and around the building itself. If anyone can tell me how I can go around the managing company & find the owner, I’d really appreciate it. It’s too good of a theater to let it go to pot.
