Lori, Unfortunately, I have not received an e-mail from you. The address and name of this theatre is definitely correct as being on Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn. It is listed as such in the well researched book “The Brooklyn Theatre Index Volume 1 authored by the late Cezar Del Valle. I cannot find any reference to the same named theatre or any other theatre in Manhattan at the address you give (looking at lists in 1914 and 1926). Do you have any dates of operation for the 1396 Broadway theatre?
The Compton Cinema Club on Compton Street, Soho, London was one of several adult cinemas operated by the Compton Cinemas Group. They also built and operated several Superama Cinema’s in Derby, Leicester etc. which screened regular films (many in 70mm). They also operated the 40screen Cincenta Cinemas, Panton Street, London (Now open as the Odeon Panton Street). All have their own pages on Cinema Treasures.
The country & city are listed as well as brief details and a photograph. As time passes further details will be found and the page updated. (mighty oaks from little acorns grow)
Cinema Treasures covers the whole world and pages are sometimes created with only a small amount of information. Over time further details are usually added to pages. I just found the seating capacity of this cinema and a more precise address and have added them.
I would say it is the 1929 version of “The Hottentot” starring Edward Everett Horton. The V-shaped standing advertising board has a poster for that version.
Suwantii, Thanks for the update and it’s nice to know that Cinema Treasures gets an end credits mention. Many Thanks to you for showing me the building (and many other cinemas) when I was in Hong Kong several years ago.
The 1952 edition of Theatre Catalog lists 2-drive-in’s in Little Rock, AR: Asher Drive-In, on Highway 70, operated by Rowley United (650-cars) & Pines Drive-In another Rowley United theatre (500-cars).
In the 1953-1954 edition there were 5 drive-in’s listed: the previous two and a Drive-In with 500-cars operated by Arkansas Amusement Co., Razorback Drive-In, Barber Street & 21st Street operated by Arkansas Amusement Co. (500-cars) and Scenic Drive-In operated by Roy Cochran (500-cars). Also, (Under Construction) was the Rose Drive-In to be operated by G.W. Jones (1,000-cars).
It seems to me that they were both on the same plot of land and the Starlite Drive-In is mentioned as being to the south of the Minout Outdoor Theatre.

The SilverCity St. Vital now has its own page on Cinema Treasures.
It seems to me that they were both on the same plot of land and the Starlite Drive-In is mentioned as being to the south of the Minout Outdoor Theatre.
Kenmore, A newspaper clipping on the Starlite Drive-In page states they are two different theatres.
