Exterior and lobby photos from July 2012.
Warren’s links are dead, but I’ve found this weblog post which begins with four photos of La Pagode and its garden.
This web page has photos of theaters around the world taken from the book Architectures de Cinémas, by Francis Lacloche, and includes a more expansive view of the auditorium of La Pagode (found a bit less than halfway down the page.)
This web page has a general view of the theater’s unobtrusive entrance. Clicking the “view all images” link reveals only one more photo, depicting the garden.
Also, this article about Paris cinemas from The Guardian begins with an evocative nocturnal photo of La Pagode’s vertical sign.
I always thought it was an actual Shinto temple because any advertisement of what it was was very low key. It is certainly an oddball as far as its neighbors are concerned, but it does not stand out. You have to look for it.
The seating capacity in the original auditorium is 211. As stated in the opening text above, the newer basement screen seats 180.
