There might have been a Tres Banderas in Barrio Obrero, but my mother, who grew up in Old San Juan, remembers there was also one located on Recinto Sur Street. She also remembers a fellow with a limp who would walk around her neighborhood announcing the theater’s showings that day (“Today at the Tres Banderas! Today at the Tres Banderas!…..”).
Let’s see if I remember well. In the early 1980s, Cinema 4 doubled as a TV studio on Saturday evenings when Vigoreaux’s sons Luisito and Roberto hosted a game/variety show.
I remember the New San Juan showed Spanish-language films but later changed to X-rated. It may have been called the “F” when it first opened, but I do recall its having reopened under that name, either before or after serving as Luis Vigoreaux’s studio. The “F” in its (perhaps) second incarnation was an unsuccessful venture.
During its hardcore porn days, the Lorraine would be the target of police raids.
