Partial view of the lobby of the Fair, April 7, 2017. After I snapped the picture I saw the man in the ticket booth give me a strange look. I made sure that I took the picture when no one was exiting or entering to protect their privacy.
I went there today for the first time. I think I was in screen two. The air conditioning was not hardly on and it was somewhat warm in the theatre. And there was a musty smell.
Are all the theatres in the picture gone?
Anywhere know where the box office was located back in the day?

Mr. Katz, I mean did the church owners let you come inside?
I’m glad I was able to visit a few times during the porn era. It had a large auditorium. I was hopeful, until reading this, that it might re-open.
What was the tall building ?
Darn, I wish I had gone into these theatres when they were still open but I was afraid.
Where on earth might there be photos of the interior?
Here’s a street view from google maps.

Somewhere out there are pictures of the theatre when it Rio Piedras, Spanish language programing in the 70’s
I found this on the Landmarks commission website.

I’m sure we can say goodbye to this theatre. The land is very valuable. Another damn apartment will replace it.
I went to the New Adonis (for research). I’m glad I got the chance to see the old theatre before it was closed. The balcony was still open.
I wonder how long the church will keep the building in light of the present development
Who owns the property?
Wow!!!! I never thought I would see a picture of the theatre while in operation. Thanks. Where did this picture turn up?
Where was the Graham Palace?
I assume there is nothing left of the interior
when did the start showing porn?
The interior of what is now Shopper’s World looks like it was a movie theatre.
Thanks for adding this picture.

Would the congregation object to anyone taking pictures of the interior?
I haven’t seen it but I hear there is a FOR SALE sign up on the building.
I would love walk around inside.
