The Kings Theater in Flatbush was one of five “Wonder Theaters” built in greater New York City for the Loew's chain in 1929-1930. Designed in a relatively straightforward “French style,” the interior was highly ornate with a small balcony and massive organ screens and seated 3,676 people. The exterior featured similar embellishments typical of the movie palaces of that era. What a place to spend a Sunday matinee with the family or to take a date. Because of its size, it was also a premier location for high school graduations, such as James Madison‘s. |
