There was a group that got together to try to save the Mayfair. I've been told that the group did file a lawsuit on a friday, but did not secure a temporary restraining order to stop demolition. Reade brought in the wrecking ball on Sunday, before the Court re- opened on Monday. Info I got from some old-timers. Thanks. I do vaguely remember that Sunday Stunt. What a turncoat. Helen Pike's book says that Asbury Park was the second largest location of theaters after New York City for the Walter Reade Organization. My first movie was there. Fuzzy recollections - I was about 11 when it was destroyed. I believe I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey there, if not the St. James. I didn't understand it, but Matt Matlin did explain the monolith to me. <grin> I saw Five Easy Pieces and Medium Cool at the not-so-grand Lyric Theater. I remember those because they were quite radical for AP back then. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
