I was born in 1950 in the Bronx and lived in this neighborhood until I was 21. I only knew this theater as an Italian language cinema.I saw many Italian language films at the Tremont including La Ciociara, which later became Two Women (with Sophia Loren). They showed mostly older Italian films from after WWII. They even printed flyers announcing upcoming films that I still have (I think).
The Tremont was in operation when I started taking Italian in junior high school in 1963. I can’t say for sure when the last film was I saw there but I would say it was still showing films through the mid 1960’s, but probably no later.
