Wasn’t there a Loew’s theatre attached to the back of the Pitkin? The “Premiere” or something like that? My dad started as a usher for Loew’s at the Pitkin and I think his first Assistant Manager’s job was at the Premiere? Help.

I read earlier about Dorothy Solomon and that she’s still alive. I’d love to be able to contact her. For most of my early life, for good or for bad, I was known as “Danny Cohen’s son.” My dad was the manager of the Loew’s Kings right before Dorothy. He was there when the Tisch’s visited upon their takeover of Loew’s and based on how well that theatre presented and was managed he was promoted to headquarters at 1540 Broadway. I spent lot’s of PM’s there after my day at Erasmus. In 1959 I worked behind the candy stand. Anyway I just happened upon this site recently and would like to contribute in any way I can to the revitalization efforts.
