With the Big Apple digging out of winter storm Nemo, it would seen an appropriate time to visit an airdome (outdoor movie theatre) at 109th Street.
The Moving Picture World, July 15, 1911:
"Rarely, though sometimes, a newcomer in the amusement world will make old timers sit up, take notice and also to some extent a rear seat.
Such it seems, is our friend Frank G. Cook, who three months ago knew nothing at all about the show business, but to-day has what is, in some ways, the best appointed airdome in all New York City.
Mr. Cook planned and built the airdome himself. It is situated at 109th Street and Manhattan Avenue. The ground lies several feet above the street, sloping gently back, thus forming a natural ampitheater.
Mr. Cook has several attendants, illuminated program announcer, a large clock over the entrance, in plain sight of the audience, and the projection is excellent."
Cezar Del Valle is available for theatre talks and walks in 2013.
He is the author of the Brooklyn Theatre Index, chosen 2010 Best Book of the Year by the Theatre Historical Society.
