Plaza Theatre

1968 print ad as The New Plaza, added courtesy David Ayers. Russ Meyer’s “Vixen” Rated X.

This small art house run by Roth Theaters grabbed-off quite a few high quality, high box office exclusive runs, showed them at pretty steep prices too. This included Brigdet Bardot’s AND GOD CREATED WOMAN as well as LOVE IS MY PROFESSION, and LA VERITE. They also had H Z Clouzot’s MANON and the original MONDO CANE. Films usually ran at the Plaza for months, not weeks. There were about 400 seats, no architectual distinction at all. Gone now, it once fulfilled its purpose well.
