The Freeport Theater was not near THe Grove – The Grove was down on Merrick Road near what was then called Grove Street. In 1943 I saw “For Me and My Gal” (Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, George Murphy) at The Freeport. When “Gone With the Wind” came to Freeport, it was shown at THe Freeport. It was much like The Grove structurally. THe “third” motion picture place was hardly a theater — The very old, very small Plaza was located right next to the rail road tracks next to the corner of Sunrise Highway and then-Grove Street. I saw all the Andy Hardy films at the Plaza and one early “Road” picture (Bob Hope, B CRosby). As far back as I can recall Freeport (Long Island, NY), starting in 1935- – these were the only movie houses.
