This theatre in the Eastchester section of the Bronx is often confused with the Loew’s Boston Road, which has its own listing here. The smaller Loew’s Post Road was still standing empty several years ago, with its marquee and vertical sign intact.
Current information would be appreciated.

This theater is now a church known as the Cathedral Baptist Church.
Was this theater ever known as Loew’s Bolte??

This was where i saw the first James Bond movie “DR NO” AND Believe it or not it was the second feature. This theater is about two blocks east of the Melba on Boston Post Road.
This theater to my recollection, was north of the Melba theater on Boston Post Road, almost directly across the street from: John’s Bargain Stores, and Ionatti Meats. Had it’s popularity dwindle in the 60’s, when it fell, like so many other movies houses to a Bingo Hall. Nice area in the late 50’s early 60’s.
Now we talking – this link/site www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/theatresbronx/bronxthea.html
is a jewel.
Nice photos.
The building has been cleaned up (except the graffiti covered vertical sign) and has reopened as a supermarket. The owners have a large wall honoring the history of the theatre with some lovely pictures and posters. You can easily make out the theatre highlights and projection booth.
I added a photo of the LoewsPost Road…for those who want to see it.
