Teatro Alcazar

Davsot, thank you for the pic. I got to go to PR on February 2011 & saw it. Amazing that the front of the building (& the ALCAZAR letters) are still somewhat intact. Went to see my family. Imagine my surprise when, while speaking to my ailing father – who had a brief radio career in NY during the 50s – that he had played master of ceremonies for a Tito Rodriguez show there and rented a Rock Hudson film to be showed the same night!

My mother brought me to the Alcazar to see THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. I also saw a cute spanish film titled ADIOS CIGUENA ADIOS (Goodbye Stork, Goodbye) about a pregnant pre-teen. I remember they also showed (but did not get to attend)Pam Grier’s COFFY and Carlos Saura’s CRIA CUERVOS. Someone please create pages for TEATRO CAGUAS (no longer in existence – now a Blockbuster video store last time i looked), CINE LIDO (no longer in existence – now Teatro Arcelay for stage shows, etc.) & the legendary CINE REAL (no longer there at all – just a gutted skeleton, it was the grindhouse of my youth!). Sweet memories! Oh, how i miss them…
