I went to JHS 52 located on 204th St between Broadway and Academy St. There was a red brick Annex to JHS 52 on the corner of Broadway. I graduated in 1952. The ceremony was held in the LOEW’S INWOOD Theater on Dyckman Street. There was another theater on the south side of Dyckman Street around the corner from Broadway named the ALPINE. It; like the LOEW’S INWOOD ran through to THAYER Street. On 207th Street there was a LOEW’S DYCKMAN Movie House located between Sherman and Academy. All of these movie houses were single level; no balcony. The RKO COLUSEUM at 181st and Broadway was vaudeville / movie theater with a balcony and large stage. The LOEW’S 175 theater was the grandest of the uptown theaters. It had a balcony and large stage for shows. It contained an ORGAN on a revolving stage that lifted up from the pit. The lobby and staircase was carpetted and walls gold gilted. Last time I passed many years ago it was church.
