The tour of the Grand Rex is a wonderful experience. Compared to a tour I took several years ago where we only got to see the backstage area, and a film was being screened, so we never saw the auditorium.
I took the tour in 2024 and we were guided (in French) on a 2-hours tour of every level of the building and ended the tour on the roof of the building with fabulous views over the Paris skyline. Tours happen every Sunday morning (unless there is something special going on in the building). Admission is by ticket only which are only bookable in advance on-line. Photography is allowed.

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.
The country & city are listed as well as brief details and a photograph. As time passes further details will be found and the page updated. (mighty oaks from little acorns grow)
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.

“Wages of Sin” was a 1938 movie & “The Sultans Daughter” was a 1943 release. What a strange closing program for 1954!
