What’s interesting in the directory is that the New Cine Lido and the Rex Theater are both listed at 265 Court, but have different phone numbers. Perhaps one of the addresses is a typo.
The 1972-73 Brooklyn yellow pages has a listing for the Century Theater executive office and then an indented list of Century theaters. They were the Avalon, Brook, College, Elm, Kings Plaza Twin, Kingsway, Marine, Mayfair, Midwood, Nostrand, Oceana, Rialto and Sheepshead. I have the addresses if necessary, but I’m reasonably certain that all these theaters have been well documented on CT.
In 1945, the Milwaukee directory listed the Zenith at 2498 W. Hopkins, as opposed to North. I don’t know much about Milwaukee geography, so perhaps someone knows if Hopkins runs north-south or east-west.
The 1945 Milwaukee city directory lists a German Kino Radio Theater on 2459 W. Fond du Lac in Milwaukee. I’m wondering if this was a house just for radio production and not for films. If so, it wouldn’t qualify to be added here.
Here is a 1944 street map. Stephenson is on the left, at E-40. It looks like Stephenson becomes Whittier Blvd. at some point: http://tinyurl.com/3cruan

Advertised as the New Cine Lido in the 1972-73 Brooklyn yellow pages.
“Attracts the public, and makes them come back”, I think.

I saw “Earthquake” at the Ventnor, with the Sensurround. What a great movie.
It probably was the Ventnor. It’s been a while.
Hard to believe that was in Camden. I never saw the town in its better days.

There was another German Kino theater in Milwaukee in 1945. I wonder if it was a chain.

Yes, it was a joke. I make them once in a while.
Once the theater opens, we can add it as a separste page. It looks like they are putting in a large glass facade. I was by there today.
I don’t think anyone living around Soto and Olympic calls the neighborhood “Wyvernwood” any more.
