rivest266 commented about Riviera Theatre on Jun 12, 2024 at 4:08 am

August 29th, 1935: The Riviera Theatre first graced the stage, brought to life by Independent Theatres.

1958: Unfortunately, the curtains fell, and the Riviera Theatre closed its doors.

June 11th, 1965: A phoenix-like revival occurred! The theater reopened as the New Riviera, now dedicated to showcasing art movies.

October 8th, 1965: A name change ensued, and it became the Riviera Art.
Closed Again: Alas, the Riviera Art’s lights dimmed once more.

October 16th, 1970: A triumphant return! The theater emerged anew as the New Riviera (yes, again!). Its grand reopening featured the film “I am Curious (Yellow)”.

October 20th, 1970: But fate had other plans. The vice squad descended upon the New Riviera, casting a shadow over its vibrant screens.

More to come. Grand opening ads posted.

The Bonita, originally established in 1910, placed its first advertisement on January 29th. Later, on October 1st, 1938, it underwent a name change and became Dixie. Unfortunately, it closed its doors in 1960.

However, the story didn’t end there. In a cinematic revival, the theater reopened as the Midtown Twin Cinemas on February 11th, 1970. This time, admission was restricted to adults over 18 years. Subsequently, only adult movies were screened, marking a significant shift in its programming. Grand opening ads and article posted.
