My Mother would take me to the Thalia, in the late 1950s I was maybe 10 or 11 yrs old I remember all the movies we saw the Blue Angel with May Britt, Anna Lucasta with Eartha Kitt, La Strada, Rififi, how many of them were actually at the Thalia I don’t remember BUT I remember the #1 local to I guess 96 th St? And I remember a hill, AND I do remember that I loved reading sub-titles unlike my siblings who couldn’t care less, I LOVED the movies..still do, always will..so my fondest memories are of accompanying her to Centre St someplace to get her Cabaret Card..the cops would issue them, and you couldn’t work without one, and then Chinese food or movies ..or BOTH..sometimes Times Sq..the Empire, or one of the big movie houses or UP to the Thalia..New York was like Hollywood to me..great place to be a kid….
