It’s the RKO Keith I was inquiring about. After seeing the pic, that’s definitely it. Must have been some beauty in its heyday. The front still looks the same as does that curved marquee. Thank you for answering my question. The bldg. reminds me of the Baltimore Hippodrome, of which exteriors were used in John Waters' film “Cecil B. Demented,” and is now a performing arts center. No reason why the RKO Keith can’t be turned into the same.
I co-stage managed the last Black Party at the Saint. And did the same w/ a video premiere party around the same time. Both events were within the last year of the club. I remember the wall-to-wall crowds, and people hanging out on the floor of the balcony, which had no seats. The place was amazing. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the year, but the Saint was the most popular club in the country, if not the world, one all the others tried to copy, even moreso than the Palladium on E. 14th.
Cineplex Odeon had to be the worst theatre chain in the world. Their houses were poorly designed crap. They didn’t have a clue, that’s for sure!
