This movie theater was located on Calle B between 25 and 27, west or even-number side, opened around 1930. Amadeu Vives i Roig, a Catalan musical composer born in Collbató, Barcelona, in 1876, went to Cuba on a tour in 1924. It was the first movie I ever attended as a child. I read that only the steps remain leading up to the lot where the theater used to stand.
Spanish General Francisco Dionisio Vives Piñón was Governor of Cuba from 1823 to 1832 and titled a Count, and he married Doña Francisca Candelaria Oliva in Trinidad, but I rather doubt the theater would have been named after him.
