This opened or placed its first ad as the Kresto-Denia theatre on August 30th, 1952, and reopened as Teatro Astor on May 30th, 1969. Grand opening ads posted.

The first time I saw a cartoon short at a movie theater was at the Astor. I remember it was a Walter Lantz production but don’t recall which character(s) it featured.

The Astor was originally called the Kresto-Denia and was located close to the intersection with Jesus T. Pinero (a.k.a. Central) Avenue. I remember watching a “Grease” and “Thank God It’s Friday” double feature one Sunday morning.

Adding to darkpitch’s comments, I think the Astor also functioned as an auction house.

I remember seeing “E.T.” and “Without a Trace” (1983) there. It must have closed in the mid 1980’s because I remember it became a ballet class studio by around 1989 to sometime in the 1990’s. In the 1990’s, it became a carpet store and I’m sure it’s still there.
