This 1973 photo shows the Royal in the distance as well as a view of the Texaco station that featured prominently in the film “The Last Picture Show."

Marialivia, the Lafayette is listed under the name Holiday Cinema.

Hardbop, that was the Murray Hill Cinema. (q.v.)

This postcard, probably from the 1930s, shows Tremont Street with the Tremont (Astor) Theatre and, beyond, B.F. Keith’s Tremont Street entrance.

This was taken a couple of years ago. I’m not sure that the theatre is still an antique store. When it was, though, actor Anthony Quinn, who live in nearby Bristol during his last years, used to visit to browse and make purchases.

Brian Michela,
Here is one of those films you refer to that got a “C-Condemned” rating by the Catholic Legion of Decency. It was shown at the Art in June, 1962 as part of a double bill.

Yes, I remember. I also remember all the unique films I MISSED that were shown there because I was away at college, some of which I have never been able to see since, like “From a Roman Balcony.” Here are photos of a two-page flyer announcing a special series of films they ran in the fall of 1958.

Nice, but to be listed on Cinema Treasures, it has to have shown movies at some point in its history. Still a link could be placed to any info or pics.

I saw a 70mm revival of “Lawrence of Arabia” here in 2002 on that huge screen and was never as overwhelmed by that great movie as I was at that showing. That theatre and that film constituted a marriage made in heaven.

Gerald A. DeLuca commented about RKO Albee Theatre on Apr 5, 2005 at 8:48 am

Great early photos! In later decades the ticket booth was located to the right of the entrance, near the sidewalk. You then walked up a slightly inclined external foyer to get to the doors which brought you to the lobby. I believe there was a fireplace at one end of the lobby. It was not a huge lobby but very cozy and pleasant. You then turned right to get to the doors to the auditorium. The building was L-shaped. In later years the theatre was acquired by a local impresario (B.F. Dario?) and various shows and acts were brought in. I remember seeing Joan Collins here. A group of ROTC cadets from Providence College stormed out from that show because of some anti-Vietnam war songs.

Interesting photo. And I was not aware of the Imperial. I don’t believe there is a listing for it. Please add one.

Gerald A. DeLuca commented about RKO Proctor's 58th Street Theatre on Apr 4, 2005 at 5:43 pm

BoxOfficeBill,
“Juliet of the Spirits” had simultaneous runs at three N.Y.C. theatres beginning in November 1965: the New Embassy (Broadway at 46th Street), RKO 23rd Street Cinema, and the RKO 58th St. November 3rd, one day before the run at the other two theatres began, was the gala premiere at the RKO 58th. I saw it at the New Embassy. From your description of the RKO 58th Street, I wish I had gone there to see it instead. For the record, “Juliet” was not Fellini’s first film in color. That was “The Temptation(s) of Dr. Antonio,” a one-hour episode in the 1962 “Boccaccio ‘70.” It was, however, his first FEATURE in color.

Here is a photo of the Nickel. Grace Church, to the left, still exists. The building to the right is still there. The R.K.O. Albee, which eventually replaced the Nickel, was itself torn down in the 1970s. The space is a parking lot now.
