robboehm: The Beverly Amusement Company built the Beverly Theatre, 111-115 Church Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218 in 1919. It has a page on Cinema Treasures #3865. It must be the one you are enquiring about.
Phillip,The 1914 edition of Kine Weekly Yearbook gives the Pavilion as the only cinema operating in Ormskirk. Same in the 1927 edition. It obviously was not a ‘new’ cinema when it was redecorated in 1925. I have no details for an Institute.
bigjoe59: “The Fall of the Roman Empire” was released on Blu-Ray in the UK in 2.35.1 aspect ratio. Anchor Bay Entertainment/The Weinstein Company Home Entertainmet.
Gerald, It could be? The book where I got the initial information on “Luoghi Architecture del Cinema in Italia” (2010) only mentions the Imperiale name.
jackjswartz: Unfortunately Cinema Treasures cannot put other contributors in touch with each other. Hopefully your comment of June 6, 2019 will be seen by Bertinphilly. Ken Roe, Volunteer Theatre Editor
davidcoppock:The special feature on the Blu-Ray/DVD states “In 1940 they screened a special trailer for their current presentation "The Wizard of Oz”“ It wasn’t the premiere opening presentation at the theatre, which was "Gone With the Wind” in 1939.
NeonMichael: The Drive-In in Warwick, RI is listed in the 1956 edition of Film Daily Yearbook in their list of drive-in’s (state by state). E.M. Loews Drive-In, Providence is also listed, so I presume they are two different theatres. The Drive-In, Warwick is not listed in the 1955 edition of Theatre Catalog and its not in the 1957 edition of FDY. I must have only lasted one season?
The main auditorium of the 12-screen multiplex is located in what was originally the 2nd balcony of the theatre. It retains original decorative details and the fresco painted ceiling.
The Dominion Theatre was ‘downsized’ in 1958 when the 677-seat balcony(upper circle) was closed off and converted into offices. There was a loss of seats in the rear of the orchestra level when a new projection box was installed to screen Todd-AO and 70mm films. Other side seats with a bad view were also taken out and the seating capacity was reduced to 1,654. “The Sound of Music” became a BIG attraction, both for Londoners and tourists to the city. It also played for many months (sometimes years) in other large UK cities before going on general release. It played London suburban cinemas in 1969, four years after its Roadshow opening at the Dominion Theatre.
The Bedford Theatre auditorium can be seen in early scenes in the 1949 Technicolor film “Trottie True” (aka in the USA as “The Gay Lady”) starring Jean Kent.
The blurb given in an announcement of the opening of a cinema in America states that “the large screen curtains protect the screen from dust during cleaning the cinema”.

More than a gang, it was a mob of 100 fighting.
MichaelKilgore:The Theatre Catalog for 1955 and Film Daily Yearbooks 1955 thru 1957 have no listing for a drive-in theatre in Meriden.

To be accurate “Lawrence of Arabia” was not a Hollywood classic, it was a United Kingdom classic.
Vindanpar: There were two brief comments posted, but neither mentioned Peter Fonda by name, so they were deleted. Strangely, I never saw your posting.

Strange! It was working earlier today when I did an update of the website link.
