A photo of the theater with all “conflicting” marquees visible was tacked up in the Fox photo department for decades."</p> <p>“That movie house was the Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theatre, located at 586 Lexington Avenue. It closed in 1965 and has since been demolished.”</p>

  • <p><a href="http://www2.boxoffice.com/the_vault/issue_page?issue_id=1952-2-2&page_no=116#page_start">Boxoffice</a> ran this photo in its Feb. 2, 1952 issue. The caption said the 69 was “one of three outdoor theatres operated by Dickinson Theatres”. Although Boxoffice erroneously said it was in Salina, the dark stripe near the concession booth matches the Pittsburg 69’s aerial photo.</p>
