Yes I just looked it up, thats the Cobble Hill. The name Lido needs to be added as a former name. It has the other previous name Rio already.

RobertR commented about Cinart Theatre on Jul 18, 2005 at 2:21 pm

Isn’t the Lido the original name of the Cobble Hill Cinemas?

“ I do not know if this ever got a conventional 35mm release. ”

Seems “Mediterrean Holiday” did open in 35mm paired with “Manchurian Candidate” in 1965.
