The Linden theater was the name until the 1970’s when it became the Cine Malibu. Near the end of its life it became the Village but I think the final name was as the Grand theater in the early 1990’s. I was at the closing by chance. My wife and I had gone there to see a film and were standing in a very small line waiting for them to open up but the ticket gal came out and announced that the theater was closed! That was it. I saw many, many films there often times thanks to free passes from the Journal News for delivering papers. A fine neighborhood theater (the neighborhood it is located in is known as Lindenwald, hence the original name).
The Paramount did not close in 1955. If it had, I would not have seen movies there and I did with my older brothers. I believe it was closed either in 1960 or 1961 the year it was torn down. We loved going there and I never saw a film anywhere else until it closed. I remember the balcony and the size of the place. We always went on Saturday afternoons. Even as such a young kid, I was heart sick when I saw them tearing it down.
