Lord Chumley

  • ... that a showing of the 1914 film Lord Chumley was canceled on the roof of a New York City theater with an on-screen announcement due to its length of 40 minutes?
    • Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Zeb Noland
    • Comment: I have been unable to find the name of the theater. The AFI source and a scan of the original Variety article doesn't say the theater's name, but I think that the hook is still interesting with what there is. The 40 minute runtime is sourced in the infobox.

  • @SL93: Not a full review, but I think the theater in question is mentioned in the source - namely, the American Theatre. There were multiple of these in NYC, but the one being referred to is probably the American Music Hall on 42nd Street. (The headlines themselves are the names of the theaters: Victoria, Palace, and Fifth Avenue). I'll do a full review later. Epicgenius (talk) 03:57, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
Epicgenius I found the answer. It is the Loew's American Theatre although I don't see an article for it. SL93 (talk) 04:18, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I found it at Loews Cineplex Entertainment. I double-checked here. SL93 (talk) 04:20, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
I added it to the article. ALT1 ... that a showing of the 1914 film Lord Chumley was canceled on the roof of a Loews theatre in New York City with an on-screen announcement due to its length of 40 minutes? SL93 (talk) 04:25, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
SL93, fair enough, and thanks for looking further. On the other hand, Loew's American Theatre would have been the same as the American Music Hall, but that page is so devoid of facts that a DYK for that page would probably be easy to attain. But I digress. Here is my review. Epicgenius (talk) 06:16, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
