I posted two ads for The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm in the Photos section, one for the Cinerama run and one for the neighborhood non-Cinerama run…
Yes, Ben, please do that. Bright and clear and close-up where possible. Don’t forget to edit them before posting (cropping, lightening, centering, etc.) for best results.
I wish I knew as much about classic movie houses then as I know now. I would have made it a point to visit every single remaining one a least once. And the ones I really did the visit over the years I would have paid closer attention to, savoring the experience.

Welcome to the club. Just stay calm and all may (or may not) be revealed…
Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen just completed a week’s worth of shows at this theater. Looking good…

AMC Amazing
Paul, I’m enjoying your posts, but please don’t use all capital letters; it makes it hard to read…

It is now a Dollar Tree, although I wish it were a dollar theater instead.

Cabaret: USA:PG (MPAA rating: certificate #23094)
Since #2 Regal has about 7,307 screens in 564 theaters (compared to AMC’s 8,200 screens in 661 theatres) I guess you prefer Burger King…
It’s amazing (or not) what $93 million can do…
