I agree. By the way, I have been curious about your initials. I think NAC is naval air command, but the only AKC I know, and I mean no disrespect, is the American Kennel Club. Can you enlighten me?

That photo was taken in 1978, during the blizzard which I think occurred in February. Here are two photos of the Stanton from 1935:

I always preferred the OC boardwalk to the one in Atlantic City. Better theaters, better miniature golf, the works.

Here is another view of the Earle, from 1949:

I think “Cinema Treasures” is certainly a relative term. A theater where you saw your first film might be a treasure, of course. Imagine that the theater had been demolished for thirty years, and then you come on here and see photos that bring back those childhood memories. In my opinion confining the discourse to the palaces, many of which were demolished before we were born, would satisfy the intent of the original creators but would also be a little dull if the same fifty or a hundred theaters were discussed ad nauseum.

Here is a 1963 photo of the Palace from Temple U:

I remember David Bowie playing at the Tower when I was in college (late 70s or early 80s) but I don’t recall the exact year. Here is a Temple U photo of the Tower from 1966:
