| TALK SHOW HOT SPOT: In recent years, this theater, designed in spare Georgian style, has been the site where a number of popular television talk shows are taped. And did you know that "Sesame Street" was once produced here? Erected about 1925 as a movie house when every neighborhood had its own cinema, this theater was called the Chaloner, after its builder Jacob Chaloner, a member of the Astor family. The sign on the marquee changes from time to time announcing the talk show or program currently using the theater. Generally, a poster at the entrance gives instructions on obtaining tickets for watching a taping. It might be fun to check it out. |
