I notice that there is no mention of Cinerama in the above ad for “2001: A Space Odyssey”, even though an ad (further up the ladder) mentions the theatre is Cinerama-ready.

For some reason this link is better – the image grows bigger when you click on the bottom right corner:

An excellent article on the Route 59 from Roland Lataille’s Cinerama website:

Here is an ad for its inaugural attraction, “West Side Story”:

Very interesting. I wonder what movie was playing there at the time. The castle was not a permanent fixture and was probably a tie-in.

It was an OTB at one time but is now occupied by American General Financial. The high roof can still be seen in the rear but the facade is gone, blended into the rest of the complex.

I believe this theatre is now an outlet for Off Track Betting. The lobby has been separated from the theatre, and one must drive around back to enter the OTB Parlor. When this was closed by UA, they renamed their twin up the street in the Kennedy Mall Plaza to “Cinema 59 Twin”.
