I am really confused about the Lasky Theatre history and ownership. I added a comment some years ago stating that my father worked for the owners of the Lasky Theatre. I have clear memories from my mother that also worked at the Lasky Theatre that the owners of the Lasky Theatre were the Sol brothers. There was a 3rd brother and his name was Harry Krim that I found on the internet. He was an elderly man in his late 80s I believe. He lived in a place called Farmington Hills, Michigan. I found him and talked to him by phone on April 6, 2006! He verified that he was the younger brother of Mac and Sol Krom and that they were the owners of the Lasky Theatre on the SE corner of Davison and Jos. Campau. As a child we lived around the corner from the Lasky Theatre on Dearing between Jos. Campau and Mitchell Sts. So, two people claim to have owned the Lasky Theatre this man named Berman that has made contributions on this comment section of this website and I have what seems to be irrefutable evidence that the Krim brothers owned this theatre. I’m sure there must be a logical explaination to the inconsistencies surrounding the history and ownership of the Lasky Theatre. I sure hope someone comes up with some answers before we’re all dead and buried. I am going to call Harry Krim tomorrow because I still have his phone number and with the Lord willing he may still be alive for me to. talk to, again.. sta
I may have some information about the Lasky Theatre that might be of interest. I knew the Lasky building was owned by the Lasky Family. Their name is on the Marquee stone at the top of the building above the Marquee Sign. What I didn’t know is that the Lasky Family owned the Lasky Theatre. I was under the impression that two brothers by the name of Mac and Sol Krim owned the Lasky Theatre. The reason I thought that is because my father worked at the Lasky Theatre first as an Usher then as a Chaffeur for the Krim Brothers. My mother also worked at the Lasky Theatre selling tickets. This is where my mother and father met and eventually married. I use to go to the Lasky Theatre all the time in the late 1940s and early 1950s with my mother.
