Another Look at 'The Movie Ladies of Times Square'

A crackling series of photos shared anew in 2015 by New York magazine.

When New York magazine published its annual Yesteryear Issue in March, the pleasures were too numerous to count.

In one essay, Dick Cavett recalled visiting the Copacabana nightclub at the turn of the 1970s in the company of famed gossip columnist Walter Winchell. In another piece, actor Alec Baldwin remembered his trips a decade later to Louis’s Toy Bar, on the Upper East Side, while starring in a TV daytime soap opera.

The magazine also republished some photos taken in 1971 by Shalmon Bernstein for a series on cashiers at adults-only Times Square movie houses.
