Hi, Claude, et.al., from Joe B in NOLA Sorry for the finger-slip that sent the previous, meaningless message. I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed visiting Claude, seeing his spectacular display of all kinds (not just Chan) posters in his office, and passing a pleasant hour or so with a native New Yorker of great knowledge and less-curmudgeonly personality than one might expect from his occasional MOPO rant. Claude is a fine and hospitable guy and I recommend any one from MOPO to take him up on his invite. I'm glad I did and hope to repeat the experience one day!!

From: Claude Litton <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOPO] NEW YORK THEATERS To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, June 20, 2009, 7:47 AM I have seen them all since I was 17 years old. I went to college and law school in New York City and have spent my working life there. I have walked the streets of NYC for over 50 years and have always been thrilled with everything. I have been involved with NYC real estate all these years and still love it. I went to NYU in Greenwich Village and my friends and I used to peek in at the old burlesque theaters (before we got kicked out) and got to the movies in virtually every theater already mentioned in other emails (so I wont repeat them). I remember all the old decrepit Times Square theaters before they cleaned up the area. The police used to walk 4 abreast because the area was so dangerous and I am speaking about daylight hours, not just at night. I remember going to the theaters on 57th street when one of them was an art theater and the other was showing xxx films. I remember Deep Throat and the Devil In Miss Jones playing for many years as a double bill. The Paris Theater showed art films for many, many years before the real estate got too valuable and getting old movies on VHS destroyed the market for these theaters. My office is at 295 Fifth Avenue across from the Empire State Building and if anyone is in NYC they are welcome to visit. I have over 50 movie posters framed in my office suite including 6 of my Chan 3 sheets. Joe Bonelli stopped in last year and we had a great time. Just email me in advance to make certain I am in because I don't work as many hours as I did when I was younger. I stopped going to work on Fridays 9 years ago and leave at 2 pm.

I also got to see the display of the fiends (in a hugh fish tank) from FIEND WITHOUT A FACE located right in front of the theater in Times Square. Anybody else in our group see these fantastic advertising displays????
