One Spanish-language film the New San Juan played in the 1960s was the spy spoof “Agente ‘0’ en New York” starring the late Puerto Rican comedian Adalberto Rodriguez (better known by his show-business name “Machuchal”).
Bob J, I don’t know why you have this fixation with exact addresses and street numbers. Why don’t you buy a GPS or whatever that gadget is called? In NYC no one knows the street number of Radio City Music Hall, Macy’s or the Empire State Building and everyone, including non-English speaking visitors, know where they are. In PR, does anyone know the street number of Plaza las Americas on Roosevelt Avenue? Of Fortaleza or the Capitol in Old San Juan? Of course not, but everyone knows where they are. For buildings such as theaters, churches, landmarks, etc., if they tell you it is on X avenue or street between Y and Z streets, that is enough info to find them.
Be really nice to have an address, more info and photos.
I think it was definitely the F, a Llamas theater. The New San Juan was operated by the owners of the Rex, the old Delicias, at Fernandez Juncos and Parque,
I remember the New San Juan showed Spanish-language films but later changed to X-rated. It may have been called the “F” when it first opened, but I do recall its having reopened under that name, either before or after serving as Luis Vigoreaux’s studio. The “F” in its (perhaps) second incarnation was an unsuccessful venture.
4 years and still no answer
Wasn’t this theater oriiginally called the “F”, owned and operated by the Llamas family?
Happy New Year, Andres.
