Thanks Orlando! The Babylon Cinemas was converted to digital over a year ago. Unfortunately it was no longer a viable operation, and had not been for many years.
The theater opened as a single called the Town – then a second auditorium was added in former retail space. The original was split into four, and the second split into two, totaling six.
It was right in the corner of Fourth and Fulton – if you walk in the Fulton St. entrance to the Atrium it was on the left. The box office ‘bump out’ is still there, as is the display window that held two poster cases. The space is now offices.
Unfortunately this gem was demolished about 10 years ago after sitting in a deteriorated condition, with 2x4’s holding up the neon ‘Schine’s Rialto’ marquee.
The Capitol is still there, 100% intact. It is on the second floor of the building, accessed on the side street through the curtained-off wooden doors with poster cases on either side. It is owned by the people who operate the pharmacy on the ground floor.
The theater was a quonsethut that opened in the late 50’s/early 60’s, and was gone by the mid-70’s. The building was on the Vestal Parkway and has been demolished.
I was there this past week—the Meadow 6 has almost been completely demolished. Only part of the shell of theater #1 was still standing. The facade is covered with a banner announcing a new Marriott hotel. By the end of this month, the Meadow 6 will be no more.
Drove by the theater twice today—it’s been gutted and a lot of holes cut in the building, presumably for new windows. If you look inside you’ll see some of the wall treatments that were in the auditoriums still hanging, but otherwise the dividing walls and balcony in the original building have been torn out.
Thanks for the kind comments on the Mall 11! Brandywine’s demos are excellent and the overwhelming response I’ve been getting in our comment box has been very positive. The theater’s going to be a huge hit! It will have a large format auditorium as well! 15 screens in all. Ground work starts very soon—
The theater is reopening today!
We will have shows around the clock from Thu 12/17 at 7PM right through until Sunday night! 24 hours! Tickets at www.bowtiecinemas.com.

Excellent news! Congratulations!
Yes, I’ve instructed our team to close then open both the grand drape and title curtain between the trailers and feature! Enjoy!
This theater is still open….
All shows are 70mm. I will repair the website. Sorry for the confusion! Be assured though, 70mm.

Roger is correct – unfortunately our lease could not be renewed. Bow Tie does not own the building, unfortunately.
The lease is up.

Shoeshoe, are you sure you had the right building? Threre are no railroad tracks anywhere near this building.
The Criterion has had 9 screens for about 3 years now.
