A news report claimed: “The theatre has been completely rebuilt and redecorated so that only the walls of the old structure remain. The lobby, auditorium, and lounges have been furnished in keeping with modern standards.”…This was just one month before Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, which caused the USA to enter WWII.
Bookings for the Skouras Bayside were split weeks of double bills originally packaged for the RKO and Loew’s circuits. The Skouras Roosevelt in the outskirts of Flushing had the same policy, but with start days the reverse of the Bayside. The Skouras Victory, which had been the only theatre operating in Bayside, would now get move-overs from its modernized sibling.
