This was downtown Seattle’s only gay porn theater in the 1970’s. The Sultan’s Lavender Cinema was opened on October 23, 1971 with “Boys Will be Boys”. By December, 1972 it was operating as Sultan Cinema. Bob Damron’s Address Book (1977 edition) lists this as Sultan’s Cinema & Books, 1313 First Avenue.
