The Flickr Moviemarquees Image Generatr

Vintage image of the RKO Prospect Movie Theater formerly located on 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues in the Park Slope Section of Brooklyn, New York. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf and The Oscar are the double feature. In my opinion, The Oscar, starring Stephen Boyd, Jill St. John and Tony Bennett (as Hymie Kelly) is a very under appreciated movie and has actually aged very well. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Vintage image of the movie marquee for the Lyric Theater on 42nd Street in the heart of Times Square In New York City. Although the marquee states that this is the First New York showing of Scarface, this is actually the First New York showing “in Times Square”. I have dated the photo 1983: which is the release date for Scarface, but this is not a first run theater so the photo is more than likely from 1984. I spent most of my high school years in the late 1960s in Times Square. This image brings back good memories. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Give my regards to Broadway and tell them I’m on my way! Vintage image of the north end of Times Square going up Broadway. Great night life image with the theaters and advertising signs all lit up. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Vintage image of the movie marquee for the Liberty Theater on 42nd Street in the heart of Times Square In New York City. Born Losers is a 1967 motorcycle gang movie which is the first film appearance of the Billy Jack character with Tom Laughlin. It is paired with Door to Door Maniac which is a 1961 film. I have dated the photo 1967 which is the release date for Born Losers, but this is not a first run theater so the photo is more than likely from 1968. I spent most of my high school years around this time in Times Square. This image brings back good memories. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

Vintage image of the marquee for the Loew’s 46th Street Movie Theater, on New Utrecht Avenue, in Brooklyn, NY. The Jerry Lewis film The Bell Boy was playing and he was also scheduled to make a personal appearance. As Jerry was definitely an acquired taste, this photo must have been taken by a real fan. Nice vintage advertising. This found photograph is from the private collection of an unknown and/or unknowing art collector. It’s always a thrill when it’s from Vinnie DeVille!

This theatre was built in 1937 in the Moderne style as the Boulevard Theatre. It later became the venue where Dick "Huggy Boy" Hugg, a legendary L.A. disc jockey who was instrumental in promoting rock n' roll music in the 1950's, held an American Bandstand-like program here.

Hugg was a DJ off and on all the way until 2002. He died in 2006, but his name lives on. The theatre now houses a church.

I drove here, fueled by my last memory of the place, when I drove by over ten years ago. I thought I'd grab a photo while I still had a chance. I was very pleased to discover that the entire theatre was recently renovated.

Originally opened in 1928.

This says all you really need to know regarding the demographic changes that have swept through Laguna Beach.

Oh well. If it's not exactly bohemian anymore, at least it's still pretty!

From www.cinematreasures.org:

"Opened on August 14, 1936 with "China Clipper", the Del Mar Theater has served the college town of Santa Cruz, California for almost 65 years.

After years of struggling through dollar nights and intermittent attendance, the Del Mar was sold in 1999 and closed.

After an extensive renovation and restoration, the Del Mar reopened in February of 2002."

According to www.cinematreasures.org, this theatre was built in 1941, and originally called the Hi-Ho Theatre. It was renamed the Fox in 1957.

It's obviously been out of business for some time.
