Al, the Lincoln 72nd Street was at 180 East 72nd Street. Thank you again. I need one on the West side, the Embassy 72nd Street on Broadway, the Regency on B'way & 67th or the Lincoln Square on B'way and 66th.
Al Alvarez, Ed Solero, I’m writing a novel set around West 72nd Street in 1959 and ‘60. Can you tell me what movie showed at the Loew’s Lincoln Square Friday, December 18, 1959? I said “Anatomy of a Murder”, but don’t really know. I published “Love Letters in the Sand”, where I mention another area of New York. Thanks a lot!

The Teatro Presilla, the property of Demetrio Presilla, a Spanish national, was inaugurated in 1914. The cine Mayarí was located in the site where the Presilla had been. The government intervened it on August 16, 1963, started construction and by mid-1964 it was finished, in masonry painted light and dark gray bearing a flashing sign in red, blue and white.
The first movie shown in this theater in 1910 was the North American silent “La flor fatal”. Film reels arrived by rail. The manual projector was operated by Miguel Angel Oria. Others shown were “La esclava blanca”, “La posada sangrienta”. The manager of the Cine-Teatro Aldana was Mariano Belío. In 1928 it showed “La hija del Capitán Mambí”. Partners Fernández and Montaña sold it to Enrique Farah Awed. Renown business show figures performed, musician Dámaso Pérez Prado, singers Benny Moré, Pedrito Rico, Bobby Capó, Daniel Santos and the Matamoros Trio.
This theater first opened in 1873 as Teatro Uriarte, in baroque style, the property of Don Juan Uriarte, manager and Don Domingo Fabre, the orchestra conductor. Tradition claims it has had amazing acoustics because it was built over an ancient beach well or subterranean cave. It had two beautiful statues of Sappho playing the lyre at the entrance, spider candelabra, an enormous stage with a pit for big orchestras and attractive ample balconies. It was bought by the owners of the famous circus Santos y Artigas and its name changed. In 1922 it was bought by architect Luis Gálvez. The first projectionist was local photographer Pascual Pérez. A benefit was held for octogenarian primary teacher Don Alejandro Miramón Casanovas. During the hurricane of 1933, Pedro “el Gallego” Castany’s wife, whose company was performing at the theater, gave birth to a baby girl.
This theater opened with the name Balboa in 1921 in the Central Elia Sugar Mill in the municipal term of Guáimaro. In 1924 the Elia theater was created, which was completely destroyed in an accident in the late ‘40’s, and in 1928 the Cine Dora opened. The Cine Unión was opened on February 3, 1948, with 642 seats; the first projectionist was Eduardo Pérez. In 1982 it was re-named Tana. The town was the Central Elia, built in 1915, the property of Compañía Azucarera Elia, on land owned by Elia Rosa Castellanos, founded on February 28, 1916; on October 13, 1961 it was renamed Colombia.
Cinema Rex opened in 1938. It was located between Consulado and Industria streets. It showed short-length films, newsreels, Cuban “América”, North-American Warner-Pathé, Spanish “No-Do”, a Walt Disney cartoon, and a documentary or a comedy skit. A well-mannered older formal usher at the lobby before the navy blue velvet drapes usually announced, “A short while standing” to the new arriving moviegoers who would wait for the next showing. I saw “The movie pest” there and many a sprightly Donald Duck cartoon.
There are a series of about 7 connected theaters in the area of Guantanamo named Huambo after a province in Angola, dedicated to the promotion of African cinema.
Aquilino Larrea, a renown local business man who owned a match factory, ceded the land at 251st Avenue and 150th Street to the brothers Manolo and Ramón Suárez, who inaugurated the theater in 1946. The theater showed movies and was rented for live stage plays, musical revues, beauty pageants and meetings of the Syndicate of Workers and Employees of Textilera Ariguanabo.
Thanks a lot, Al. I’ll use the Embassy then.
Al, But I still need what movie was playing at one of the three, Embassy, Regency or Lincoln Square if there was one. How do you find that?
