I work with Steve in London. He is the CEO of Cineworld Cinemas, a British chain he started from scratch in 1996 that built 34 multiplexes in ten years. In 2004 Cineworld bought UGC Cinemas and is now 79 theatres strong. www.cineworld.co.uk
Thanks Warren. I am not sure how one would list them, but the old Criterion and the Vitagraph both deserve a listing.
New York Times ads in late January 1916 list the Biltmore as the former Lexington.
Is the Trans-Lux East (1963-1979) not listed yet?
For a short period in 1916 this operated as the Biltmore Theatre.
Sorry, I found that one. It is the VITAGRAPH (44th & Broadway) that appears to be missing.
There appears to be no listing for Paramount’s Broadway Theatre. (1915-1928)on 41st street. Does anyone have any information?

I saw BILLY HILL, the failed Gerome Ragni play here in previews. I don’t think it ever left Miami after well deserved scathing reviews.
I believe it may be this furniture store:
Inspiration Furniture By Scan Design
3025 Sunny Isles Blvd North Miami Beach, FL 33160 (305) 944-8080
If the Theatre St. Marks rates a listing under the name THEATRE surely this should be changed to Cinema Studio.
In Christmas of 1922 the Stadium joined the wide release of Mary Pickford’s TESS OF THE STORM COUNTRY…and I mean wide.

The address above is incorrect. The Gables was at 2112 Ponce de Leon.
The address above is incorrect. The Coral was at 2331 Ponce de Leon.
This is now known as OLYMPIA THEATRE AT GUSMAN HALL. Common sense prevails!
This is now being advertised as the WEST 34TH STREET in newspapers since AMC took over.
Shouldn’t LOEWS CINE be added to the former names here even though it only referred to part of the building?
