Thanks, I didnt spot it right away. Where were the other theaters in relation to this? (University, Park, Keiths) Were the Park and Alhambra on one side and the rest on the other side?of the street? I have a fascination with this area, but the theaters were long gone before I could explore it…
This is sort of off topic, but why were there so many theaters in the Euclid/105th neighborhood? There were more theaters there than in Playhouse Sq. downtown. So the original Scrumpy Dump was in the theater lobby? That must have been a big lobby!
Am I right in assuming from the Cinemascope website article that what we are seeing in multiplexes now are cropped Panavision prints? We’re not seeing the whole picture? This is depressing…….
Yes, How did VistaVision differ from CinemaScope? When did Paramount stop using it? It had to be still around at least by ‘57 (Funny Face) And when did Panavision become the standard? Early 60’s? When did CinemaScope stop and Panavision start? How do they differ?Anyone want to educate us?
I recently caught The Pawnbroker (great movie, hadnt seen it before as I was too young when it came out) on TCM and there was a brief scene where Rod Steiger was walking down 125th St. It showed the Apollo and the Loew’s Victoria. Couldnt make out what was playing at the Apollo, but The L Shaped Room with Leslie Caron was on the Victoria marquee….
Yes, cant wait to see the pictures! Many of the theaters, I’ve never heard of. Sad. I know there was a book published on the Playhouse Square theaters decades ago. Too bad no one bothered on the rest of them….
Does anyone know if the lobby of the Palace was bigger in the past than it is now? I’ve heard that the small shops in front of the theater used to be part of a bigger lobby, but I’ve never been able to verify this.
Would’ve liked to have seen what this theater looked like, but it was long gone before I came here. It sounds much bigger than the Palace across the street.
I seem to remember they partitioned the Allen and were using the auditorium for a laser show or something for awhile. The restaurant was up front. Cant remember the name of either of them. I dont think they lasted long.
What’s the seating capacity of this theater? Does anyone know?

What’s the theater farther down the street, do you know?
Which marquee is the Circle? What is the theater next to it? Its on the right side of the street? Is this looking east or west?

What a great loss. :(
Just another reason for me to hate multiplexes. Sigh.

Thanks! Have always wondered how all there processes differed.

Whatever happened to the Old Mayfield? Was it torn down? Does anyone know? (The one in Little Italy).
Roger, that’s too bad, but I’m not surprised. I do remember some of the theaters from ads in 60’s newpapers.

Thanks, Patrick. Am glad you are aware of the issues involved.
Why Am I not getting e-mail notifications to my posts? I’ve written you about this, but I never got a reply from you.

How big was the Standard? Any idea? Medium size? Was there a balcony?
Jim, did the Stillman have full stage facilities? Was the theater significantly altered for 70mm?

The Ohio in Columbus is much more lavish and bigger than the Cleveland Ohio. And the Cleveland Palace is likewise in relation to the Columbus Palace.
LOL! How original.

Wasnt there a restaurant in the Allen rotunda for awhile? I think I ate there once.
Did it ever show Hollywood movies, or was it created strictly for Porn?
