Comments from Gerald A. DeLuca

Here is a photograph of the Odeon Cremazie which I took in 1989.

Roland, That IS a nice photo. I have a photo which might have been taken around the same time, which I take to be 1944 or so. It’s the same angle and everything, except that there was an Abbott and Costello film program, plus cars and a bus to be seen. The vertical marquee is a gem. In this picture did you note the mill-factory to the left beyond LaSalle Square where the Dunkin' Donuts Center is now? And to the right on Washington Street you can see the White Tower, the hamburger place.

Here is a photo of the Cinema du Plateau which I took in 1989.

Here is a photo I took of the Elmwood in its current state.

Here is a photo I took of the Imperial in 1989.

Davebazooka,
The theatre directly around the corner on 3rd Ave. would have been the Coronet/Baronet or later Coronet 1 & 2.

Here’s a postcard from the 1960s with Loew’s, the Pigalle (Strand), the Capitol.

Here’s another from the 1960s with Loew’s, the Pigalle, the Capitol.

Update needed. The alternate names Globe and Cine 1 & 2 should be added to make searching easier. I remember it only as the Globe.

This old postcard shows several Rue Saint Catherine movie theatres including the Cinema de Paris, Palace, Capitol, Strand, Loew’s.

This Cinema de Paris seems to be in a different location on Rue Sainte Catherine from the one I just posted above. Can anyone clarify?
This old postcard also shows several other Rue Saint Catherine movie theatres that include the Cinema de Paris, Palace, Capitol, Strand, Loew’s.

Here’s an old postcard of Main Street in East Greenwich. The Greenwich Theatre is on the right…with a yellowish marquee here.
