At http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/WeymouthTheatres.htm#pav the history is more detailed. The 1908 theatre depicted was destroyed by a fire in 1954. Another theatre was built on the site (1958-1960) and opened in 1960.

Seems to have been replaced by an (comparably ugly) multiplex cinema “Megarama Fes”. http://rol-benzaken.centerblog.net/2894-cinema-empire-a-fes

I guess this is what http://www.allekinos.com/FLOERSHEIMGloria.htm lists as “Gloria” (converted to a beverage market) at Hospitalstrasse 4-6 in Flörsheim.

The cinema (a back building) has been demolished in 2017, see https://www.heidelberg24.de/heidelberg/heidelberg-altstadt-fotos-lux-harmonie-kino-wird-abgerissen-8583839.html

The part on the photo with the entrance (a listed old house called “Wormser Hof”) was not demolished, though.

AndreasP commented about Blue Movie Kino Centre on Mar 15, 2018 at 6:36 pm

The history of this building is actually more interesting than its last name and the eerie Google image may promise. It was opened as “Kamera am Ring”, where in addition to commercial fare the first screenings of the communal cinema were shown in the 1960s (which would later become “Cinema Quadrat” at another location). The “Kamera am Ring” was renamed “Royal” and became an adult cinema in the early 1970s. In 1981 it was renamed “Blue Movie Kino Centre”. It closed for good in 2009, the foyer is now a gambling arcade.

This is actually in Shaker Heights, OH, not Cleveland itself.

AndreasP commented about John's Island Drive-In on Nov 13, 2017 at 6:35 pm

The cinema is categorized as being in Ohio, the map says so, too, but the address says South Carolina. The address is correct, since Maybank Highway (see image) and River Road are two streets that are close to each other in South Carolina, not in Ohio.
