Crumbling 1920s Brooklyn theater gleams after $95 million renovation

NEW YORK — A once-gilded Brooklyn movie palace that's been crumbling for decades, with pigeons infesting its stage, is back again a glittering gem from the 1920s.
After a two-year, $95 million renovation, every detail from its jazz-age 1929 incarnation has come to life amid computerized sound and LED lighting. The theater that first opened weeks before the Wall Street crash is now the largest in New York's biggest borough.
Diana Ross headlines Tuesday's opening night at the 3,200-seat Kings Theatre in the Flatbush neighborhood where a teenage Barbra Streisand spent afternoons enjoying double features.
"We don't want to make it look brand-new; its character, its patina, is the glow and the warmth and the burnishing of the gold and the copperleaf, of the beautiful light fixtures, the seats, the carpet and the fabric — it all blends together so perfectly," said David Anderson, president and CEO of the Houston, Texas-based ACE Theatrical Group selected to restore and operate the city-owned property.
The theater has a goal that reaches beyond its terra-cotta, ornamental facade: to be an economic engine for a once heavily Jewish neighborhood now home to many Caribbean immigrants. Some are struggling in a community that has survived a roller coaster of crime and decay on its way to the current real estate renewal.
In the next few months, programs will feature entertainers including Gladys Knight, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Sarah McLachlan — the first of about 200 live annual events being planned.
"And yet," he added, "if we can't make it be a piece of successful commerce,' we've wasted our time."
Gone are the pigeons that left years of droppings inches deep in a space that also served as a refuge for homeless New Yorkers. Balconies that had collapsed onto water- and mold-soaked floors are up again, complete with new red velvet seating.
The carpeting is patterned after the original one that was destroyed — except for a tiny strip discovered under a defunct popcorn machine that served to duplicate the pattern.
The roof no longer leaks. And the 2,000-pound Art Deco lobby chandeliers — too heavy for vandals to strip — again exude splendor above the repolished entrance marble.
Most of about 100 jobs at Kings will go to area residents, with local restaurants and small businesses also benefiting.
"We'll be catering to the immediate community, presenting shows that interest New Yorkers from the Caribbean culture," Anderson said.
The 86-year-old venue, its decor inspired by France's Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera, was one of the five Loews' "Wonder Theatres" in New York and New Jersey — sumptuous homes to a budding movie culture.
On Saturday, Kings will open its doors for free tours.
To accommodate families, ticket prices for some shows will start as low as $15.
By 1977, when the theater was shuttered, suburban multiplexes had replaced the grand, deteriorating inner-city palaces. Kings was acquired by the city in 1983 because of nonpayment of taxes, and it took two more decades to raise the $95 million for the restoration.

The theater that was one of the "five wonders" of America's newly hatched movie culture is back decades after it was shuttered, a crumbling relic of a glorious era. ABOVE: David Anderson, president and CEO of Ace Theatrical Group, speaks during an interview in the King Theatre, in the Brooklyn borough of New York Monday. On Tuesday, the 3,000-seat theater reopened with a show featuring Diana Ross.
