Photos of Early 20th Century Theatres in the U.S.

I was in the Kings many times and it is as big as a train station . Luckily it is being restored and will become a performing arts center

One not listed here is the Loews Jersey which is being restored and shows classic films. It recently had a pipe organ put back in. Across the street from the Jersey (in Jersey City) is the old RKO Stanley loving restored and now property of Jehovahs Witness)

A few of those in Connecticut in the picture I visited years ago as part of a theater tour

They should film the ever-gestating "Follies" in one of them. That is, if they are still structurally sound.

I thought of Follies too. But to film that, you'd need the same theater in its full glory for scenes depicting the characters when they were young.

The RKO Keith's in Flushing is in sore need of such attention and repair.

How sad but how magnificent they once were.Wonder why those beautiful[deco?]light fittings in Lowes Kings Theatre,Brooklyn are still there-they should be seen-somewhere-and there are many other beautiful lights,as well as those rows of seats--why let them rot-give them to community theatres.

I actually meant to take the seats out and give them to whoever might have a need for them.
Appreciate that the lights might be high/heavy etc. but surely,before they come crashing down, they would look amazing in some hotel,office,apartment tower and not just left there for no-one to see them.
