RobertR; That ad brings the opening operating year of the Circus Cinema forward to at least 1972. Thanks
There is an ad for the Circus here.

Thanks RobertR, I have a view of these on an old postcard c.1985 the Rivoli Theatre is playing “Lifeforce”, the RKO Warner Twin Theatre is playing ?? title un-readable and “Mad Max 3-Beyond Thunderdome”, the Circus Cinema has a tag line on the marquee ‘Get Into the Hottest Indoor Spot of All" ?? title un-readable.
That should be Cinerama 1 & 2

The Warner was still the Cineram 1 & 2 until the last renovation in the 80’s.
The neon name on the marquee was Circus Cinema.
The Circus Theatre was located on the East side of Broadway, one block South of the Rivoli Theatre and across the street from the Strand Theatre (which at the period of time the Circus Theatre was operating-mid 1970’s to mid 1980’s-was named the RKO Warner Twin).
I believe that the Circus Theatre could have been two screens, or even two seperate theatres in the same building known as Circus Theatre and Big Top Theatre. One screening straight porn, the other gay porn.
