Hi Maria,
That link takes you to American Classic Images which sells prints of these photos. That site was a boon to many of us here as they have photos of old movies from across the nation. You can search whatever city/state you want there. Found a bunch of old Miami theaters.
Harvey,
Where did you get that great pic of Circle Theatre? Are there more? I am working on a memory album and that pic was great. Would love to get more.
Thanks
1982 photo of the Circle here.
I was not there for any live shows as I was manager during the ABC Florida State Theatres and Plitt days. I did see Julio Iglesias movies at the Tivoli and am well aware of Alvarez Guedes albums and his movie, “A Mi Que Me Importa Que Explote Miami?”
Does that one ring a bell?
I heard a rumor when I was a kid that the Village Theatre was haunted. No joke. The only time I ever saw a movie there was when my mom took my abuela and I to see Julio Iglesias movie there. I remember Alvarez Guedes opened up (live) and did a stand up. My grandomother was shocked as my mom was due to the strong language content. I thought that he was funny. But it was funnier to see my abuela’s expressions. You remember that showing?
Hi MariaMaria. I have been collecting this info since I was a kid and I have started going through it recently along with old Miami Herald Movie Time Clocks and Film Daily Yearbooks. I was a theatre manager and movie ad placement paste-up “artist” in the Miami area in the late seventies and early eighties. I worked in Hialeah briefly at the Village (Atlas), but not at the Circle.
How do you get or know all this? Do you remember or is there as site that has this info? Did you go to the theatre?
The Circle was already open by 1949. In 1984 it was twinned and in 1989 it closed.
Ok…I remember this too. I used to go this theatre a lot in my teen years. I remember seeing Saturday Night Fever there, Child’s Play…to name a few. This theatre was popular in the 80’s. Maria
This theater was in a stripmall that contained a very old, pueblo style drugstore, owned by John Stadnick. Also in this strip mall was (and maybe still is) Holleman’s restaurant.
