JamesMannix commented about Island 16 - Cinema de Lux on Jul 22, 2004 at 3:50 pm

Visited only once when Chchago opened….one of the best on Long Island’s theatres today…no curtain but in the director’s hall it is a close as one can get. The screen, at least in the one theatre I visited was a very good size and slightly curved!!! Who’d a thought!
Kudos all around…great projection and sound and seating!

JamesMannix commented about Loew's Capitol Theatre on Jul 22, 2004 at 3:39 pm

As it seems many saw 2001at the Capital…I saw it a week after the grand opening but don’t remember if it was the print before the editing and new titles where inserted.
THe theatre as remembered was immense and even though the cinerama was faux the film was wonderful……

JamesMannix commented about Loew's Valencia Theatre on Jul 20, 2004 at 4:03 pm

I visited the Valencia many times as a child, my grandparents lived within a somewhat long walking distance…my mother recalls seeing lots there..once I get more of what she remembers I will supply. Last film I saw there was Gorgo but like any film I wistnessed there it had better be good as most of the time I gazed at the ceiling with wonder.
