I am amazed to see all of the comments about Gables Theater. I grew up in Merrick until age 11, about 1976. I remember at least one summer Gables showed double-features for kids on several consecutive Saturdays. They were Disney films, possibly other films as well, but I do remember seeing a few Herbie the Love Bug movies on those Saturdays. For a child in those days, Gables was a wonderous place. I also remember seeing a Saturday marathon of Planet Of The Apes movies, but I am not entirely sure it was at the Gables.
