I was in the Dreamland a few times as a kid. It was a subrun house not in a good area. It was later called the V-L (dont know what the initials ever meant) Cinema in the 60’s and played foreign/independent films for awhile then went the porn route. Not sure when it closed, probably in the 70’s.
I havent been up there in years. I used to go there in the 70’s sometimes to catch up on movies I missed on first run. It was a nice little theater. The trains werent too bothersome.
KenRoe, I’m afraid I dont. I saw a postcard picture of it once, but I dont even know what street it was located on. It must’ve closed before the early 70’s as I never saw ads for it when I was in college and read the Cinci. paper.
Yes, Columbus did a much better job. None of the 3 are movie theaters anymore, but all are doing well as performing arts venues and beautifully restored. The Ohio film series leaves much to be desired though. Small screen and poor sound. I stopped going years ago for that reason. The theater itself is gorgeous. I think they have the theater doors from the Albee.

Wasnt there a theater called Loews Cine in the Times Square area? I believe it was the site of the former Latin Quarter. I cant find a listing for it. Anyone know?

Wasnt there a railroad track nearby? I seem to remember hearing one.
Whoops. I didnt realize she had died. Thanks for the info.
Bonita Granville married producer Jack Wrather. They produced the Lassie series. I think she’s still alive.
Good work, Ken! At least we know a little about it now.

Does anyone know how the Keiths is listed here? Does it have a listing? I cant find it.

I see it now, thanks!

Good luck! I was in that theater several times back in the 70’s
What theaters are left in SF besides the Castro? (decent sized I mean).
What a sad day. Another great theater bites the dust! :(
Yeah, but where are they going to get the product to fill all those screens?
Why is there no listing here for the Midtown? Is it listed under another name?
LOL. Too funny!
Is he still around? I know he and Margaret Whiting were an item after his film career. LOL.
Good luck! Anything that can bring attention to these endangered works of art is worth the effort.
There was an early Porn film called a Night at the Adonis that was supposedly filmed there. Dunno if they closed the theater for that or what.
Wow. What a theater. So sad.
Thanks!
