When I lived in Philadelphia in 1963-64, I used to go to a theater that showed German-language films. I seem to remember it as being called the Felton Kino. I wonder if this is the place.

The future of the “supper club” operation in the former theater is questionable after nine people were shot in the parking lot last weekend; Philadelphia’s mayor wants to shut it down. Philadelphia Inquirer story here.

If it’s being used for live performances, the status should be open, not closed.
