Registering.
My best estimate of the location is Robles Street between Ponce de Leon Avenue and Brumbaugh Street. I saw the 1980 feature-film version of “Flash Gordon” there.
Just around the corner from Ponce de Leon Ave. Also around the corner from the LUX T heather. I went there as a young boy. Two cowboy movies an the series for $0.25 Great memories On Sunday’s was the “La Tanda Vermouth” iat the Paradise cinema just across the Lux on Ponce de Leon High class at the times just after the 1am Catholic mas at the “Plaza de Rio Piedras” church. By the way this was way BACK in the early 50’s.
This was first mentioned in the newspapers on April 3rd, 1919, and closed in 1956. It reopened as the New Victoria on October 26th, 1962, by Cobian Theatres. 1962 grand opening ad posted.
