There was a small screen around the corner from the Bagdad called The Backstage. Maybe 150 seats. A few sofa type seats too. Lotsa B pictures played at the Backstage. You bought your ticket at the Bagdad boxoffice though.
I worked at the Music Box on Broadway briefly. It was owned by Tom Moyer’s Luxury Theatre chain. It was right next to the Fox and about 2 blocks from The Broadway Quad. I remember the projectionist worked both the Music Box and Fox and would have a cigarette between jaunts to each theatre. The Music Box was a single screen.

The Globe plays art house movies.

The Eastgate also hosted the sneak preview of HALLOWEEN in 1978. I haven’t heard an audience scream louder before or since.
