Spanish General Francisco Dionisio Vives Piñón was Governor of Cuba from 1823 to 1832 and titled a Count, and he married Doña Francisca Candelaria Oliva in Trinidad, but I rather doubt the theater would have been named after him.
This movie theater was located on Calle B between 25 and 27, west or even-number side, opened around 1930. Amadeu Vives i Roig, a Catalan musical composer born in Collbató, Barcelona, in 1876, went to Cuba on a tour in 1924. It was the first movie I ever attended as a child. I read that only the steps remain leading up to the lot where the theater used to stand.
