Since at least 1977 (when it is listed in Bob Damron’s Address book),the Sansom Cinema has been a gay porn cinema in the area of Center city (downtown) Philadelphia. The area is often referred to by the gay residents as the ‘gayborhood’.
Any further information on the Sansom would be appreciated.

I walked by this theater countless times in the early 80s. I remember that it was a small place. I think it had a red marquee, but it’s been a long time.
On 9th March 2008, the Sansom Cinema was given the distinction of being the 20,000th theater to be listed on Cinema Treasures.
That’s impressive. My only question is why the theater is numbered 23,401? 20,000 is the Odeon Sketty. Just wondering if that’s due to entries being added and then deleted.
Exactly.
For years this theater had an ad in the Philadelphia Daily News, in the sports section. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT????
Hello all,
I am doing a large-scale research project on adult theatres and would be very interested to hear from anything who either worked at or attended this theatre during its time showing adult films. If you would like to help me out, you can email me at .
Thanks!
