theaters are where I saw the best foreign films, Fellini and Bergman, and
all the rest.
When I lived in Philadelphia from 1982 to 1989, there was a great theater
Actually, some of the posters came from my auctions as well!
I went with Jose to see David Packard, and we walked into the theater and he
was playing an incredible restored organ, just like what was in silent movie
palaces. He was a really nice, down to earth guy who loved old movies.

I bought one of these blind in the late 80s when Movie Collector's World
was the only game in town and lists without photos were the norm. Admit I

I used to make out in the Elgin when I went to college. IT was a bit of
a dive. The Elgin is still around. It was bought by the Elliot Feld

I had some posters a while back for the Ivy Theatre on W. 46th in NYC. They
were from the early 70s.
Did other revival houses like the Bleecker issue their own posters? It seems to
me I've had a few in the past from other theatres.

It is cool that some of these places issued their own posters but what I truly
love to see is images of the old theatres that dressed up their theatres and
