I recall going to see this theater’s exterior. I’m not sure if this is the building, with the sign, maybe:

Tony Curtis might have been visiting Madrid at the time, but I don’t think that he was in the cast of “Circus World” (not to be confused with “Trapeze,” in which he co-starred with Burt Lancaster).
You could replace Tony Curtis with Lloyd Nolan and no one will ever know. ;)
