The Broadway League announced today that they do not expect to be back on stage before January. If so, and RADIO CITY follows that, sadly, there will be no Xmas show this year, for the first time.
I doubt it. There will always be a need for the shared communal experience. Cinemas will always exist in some form, as will pubs. I was often asked why I was going into a dying industry when I started as a cinema manager in 1974.
That seventies 3D process did not require any equipment. It used a silver screen and blue and red tinted glasses that cleared the overlapped images that were blurry when viewed without them.

GCC took over Loews in Florida in 1973 with the exception of the Bay Harbor and 167th St. Twins. Those two locations had a partner who refused to go along with the sale. Those two locations remained Loews.
Poman, I can second your “Cine 43” claim in 1982-1983, it is in the DAILY NEWS archives. I have not yet found a Nuevo Cine listing. Were the films in Spanish?
I found a Miami Herald ad for the Grand Opening January 15, 1926 for a live review called ‘FOUNTANIA AT MIAMI SHORES’ at East Dixie Highway and 125th Street, the inaugural attraction at the ‘newest amusement theatre". This seems to have been quite a fancy and sprawling amusement location with lots of bells and whistles I have yet to find any signs of movies having been shown.
rivest, the closest thing to an opening ad for the twin is in the November 21, 1973 Miami Herald, with SALTY the seal and his trainer appearing in person.

The Queens location is the Surfside Twin. I tried to link the CT page here for it but I got a SPAM alert.
As Teatro Cuba it only presented live shows according to El Nuevo Herald.
I don’t think this was ever a Jerry Lewis Cinema. The nearby Astor and Miller Road were.

Rivest, the Little River was the 79th Street Twin (Bard).
That older Strand was on Flagler Street and Miami Avenue.
Let’s be fair now. Netflix' takeover of the Belasco and Paris for their own Oscar bait premieres was quite a blast from the past in Showmanship.
