Ken Roe commented about Knickerbocker Casino Theater on Feb 14, 2024 at 1:40 pm

Lori, Unfortunately, I have not received an e-mail from you. The address and name of this theatre is definitely correct as being on Knickerbocker Avenue in Brooklyn. It is listed as such in the well researched book “The Brooklyn Theatre Index Volume 1 authored by the late Cezar Del Valle. I cannot find any reference to the same named theatre or any other theatre in Manhattan at the address you give (looking at lists in 1914 and 1926). Do you have any dates of operation for the 1396 Broadway theatre?

The Compton Cinema Club on Compton Street, Soho, London was one of several adult cinemas operated by the Compton Cinemas Group. They also built and operated several Superama Cinema’s in Derby, Leicester etc. which screened regular films (many in 70mm). They also operated the 40screen Cincenta Cinemas, Panton Street, London (Now open as the Odeon Panton Street). All have their own pages on Cinema Treasures.

Ken Roe commented about Cinema Roma on Feb 3, 2024 at 7:29 am

Cinema Treasures covers the whole world and pages are sometimes created with only a small amount of information. Over time further details are usually added to pages. I just found the seating capacity of this cinema and a more precise address and have added them.

Ken Roe commented about Regent Theatre on Sep 11, 2023 at 9:30 am

I would say it is the 1929 version of “The Hottentot” starring Edward Everett Horton. The V-shaped standing advertising board has a poster for that version.

Suwantii, Thanks for the update and it’s nice to know that Cinema Treasures gets an end credits mention. Many Thanks to you for showing me the building (and many other cinemas) when I was in Hong Kong several years ago.
