Yes, I have, thank you.
Are you the same Peter Koch who is the local contact for the Grover Cleveland High School Open House being held Sept. 18?
I just now received an e-mail with the name of Peter Koch & a tel. #.
I used to work there, recently retired, and am trying to help spread the word.
I saw films of an entirely different ilk at the Parthenon. They used to run some opera films on a very limited schedule, perhaps only one or two showings, before the film moved on to another theater. I know I saw “Tosca” there, and I think “Aida.”
Was this the only location of the Colonial Theater? I found a distant relative in the 1918 WW I Draft Registration: Brooklyn, NY, 13 Sep, Division 71, #2334/A 861, 31-9-71-C, Alonzo Addison Turner, Address: 1152 DeKalb, Bklyn, Kings, NY;Asst. Manager, Colonial Theater, 1158 DeKalb Ave, Bklyn, Kings, NY. [between Broadway & Bushwick Ave.]
He is also listed as a theater manager in the 1920 (living 1152 Dekalb) & 1930 (living 581 Decatur) Kings Co. Census. Name of theater not in census.
Can anyone tell me what happened to the Sacramental Registers when Our Lady of Lourdes Church burned?
Yes, I have, thank you.

Thank you, Peter K., for the information about the DeKalb/Casino Theater.
