Ken Roe commented about Dolby Screening Room Hollywood Vine on Nov 22, 2007 at 11:39 am

That is where I would have thought this movie would be playing Mark. It’s Disney and First Run. I thought it strange to see the Vine Theatre listed on View link LA.Com must have it wrong!

Loopnet still shows the Vine Theatre ‘To Lease’, yet it is listed as screening ‘Enchanted’ as of Thursday 22nd November (Thanksgiving). Has it re-opened or even, did it ever close?

Joe; Many thanks for your investigative work on the architects Keysor, Morgan, Walls and Clements. I have now corrected the errors that were on various page headings of theatres that each individual & firm designed.

Nicky; You must have explored down into the original single screen. I never went to the Odeon Queensway, so can’t be sure whether the two extra screens that were formed out of the former Cinecenta Cinemas next door still kept their original seperate street entrance or if an opening was made in the walls at foyer level (or lower down) to allow access to all three screens.

Ken Roe commented about Embassy Cinema on Nov 14, 2007 at 5:30 pm

Thanks Lost Memory;Looks like the Embassy has closed, it is mentioned on a couple of websites as a location to other buildings (next to Embassy Cinema, etc) so I presumed it was still open. I will amend the Status above.

Ken Roe commented about Loew's Metropolitan Theatre on Nov 8, 2007 at 1:44 pm

Thanks for the complements Ed. I never saw the original colour scheme when it was operating as a movie theatre, but I would imagine it was darker and that the current Brooklyn Tabernacle prefered a lighter scheme.

On our tour of the building last week, I was amazed at the huge amount of foyer and circulation spaces that are inside the building. All areas have been renovated to the highest standards.
