Here is a link to something I posted about the Robert E. Lee after I heard about its demolition.

Must admit: I was a little shocked to see the Dreamland converted to the Paris as early as 1965. I remember going to the Dreamland quite often while growing up in the Ninth Ward. As I recall, it was a third-run house at the time, so I often caught up with movies there (or saw them a second time) after they had played at the Nola, or the Famous (just down the street). They booked double bills — and sometimes the second features were REALLY old. I vaguely recall seeing a Bowery Boys movie there as late as the early ‘60s.
