Hi – A friend and I were discussing the Ori recently – I grew up in Mattapan attending this theatre and well remember the clouds, buddhas, stars, etc. Later in life I moved to an apt. in Canton. When venturing into the center, much to my surprise, there was a theatre named “oriental” – couldn’t believe it when I attended a movie and found that indeed, the cloud machine, buddhas, etc were there and working. The buddhas, as I remeber from my childhood, had lit red and green eyes. They popped their own corn with real butter too! The theatre closed shortly thereafter, I only saw one movie there. It is now just another bldg. in the center.
