Cameo Theatre/Eastern Parkway/Leow's (Bernie Lowe).
Opened by Weingarten’s Theatres as the Cameo Theatre on Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn on February 8,1924. An additional attraction in the summer months was the 1,500-seat open-air roof garden theater.
In 1925 the Cameo Theatre was taken over by Loew’s and re-named Kameo Theatre. It was equipped with a Robert-Morton 2 manual 4 ranks organ in 1927. Later on, it became the Brandt chain. It was closed in September 1974.
This large Eastern Parkway former theater now houses a church congregation.

Charlie Gracie was one cool cat. He was an innovator of rockabilly and groovin' tunes. An excellent guitarist and singer entertained us for over 65 years.
