The theater has been demolished in the past year and is now an empty lot.
Hello-
I don’t think your tone was necessary, I was just asking a question. the theaters in the Bronx that switched to Spanish language films was years later than 1938.
Hello-
I find it interesting that this theater instituted a policy of Spanish Language films as early as 1938. had the “demographics” of the neighborhood changed that much by as early as 1938?
Interesting find, IATSE311! The titles on the marquee (“Con Las Alas Rotas” and “Tango Bar”) are from Argentina.
Iris theater?

Still remembered for holding the funeral service of Malcolm X in 1965, the Childs Memorial Church of God in Christ is being prepared for demolition, according to recent news reports. The ground site will be used for a 10-story apartment building on the north end, and a new and much larger church on the south end.
The 1993 NYCLPC Landmark Designation Report for the Jaffe Theatre (now City Cinemas Village East) listed the Bluebird Theatre among the other Manhattan works of architect Harrison G. Wiseman.
It was still listed as the Bluebird Theatre in the 1926 edition of Film Daily yearbook, but by the 1930 edition of F.D.Y. it is listed as the Ramona Theatre.
