Ed Solero;I can’t find any other reference to a theatre located on Walton Street. However I have added the Gay Paree Cinema to this site and also added a seperate listing for the original 10th Street Theatre.
In the photo posted above by Ed Solero, the building next door has a sign ‘Gay Paree’. In my edition of Bob Damron’s Address Book;1977 edition, there is a gay pornographic cinema called the Gay Paree Cinema, 90 Walton Street, NW, Atlanta, GA listed.
The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Esta Theatre with 285 seats as the only theatre in town. In the 1943 & 1950 editions of Film Daily Yearbook the only theatre in town is listed as the Broadway Theatre with 300 seats. Could these be the same theatre as this Estacada Theater?
PaulNoble; Rather than do a history here, I will add the Camelot Cinema, Newquay to the main database. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. btw, “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice” was released in 1969.
Listed in the 1941 & 1943 editions on Film Daly Yearbook with a seating capacity of 375. The 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists it as the Cinema, 1625 N. Franklin Street, Tampa, FL with a seating capacity given as 530.

The Roxy Theater is listed in editions of Film Daily Yearbook from at least 1941 (300 seats) to 1950 (295 seats) and possibly beyond 1950.
