Ken Roe commented about Paris Cinema on Aug 15, 2005 at 6:59 am

Two screens:1. Adult downstairs (straight porn), 2. Adonis upstairs (gay porn). Closed end of July 2005. Licence revoked.

Saved by porn, destroyed by morality. Now what will happen to the place!

Ken Roe commented about TCL Chinese Theatre on Aug 15, 2005 at 6:22 am

The ticket booth is on the street, but it is now located in the new 6 screens building, built to the right of the main theatre. This has now allowed the original courtyard where that hand and foot prints are, to be totally ‘opened up’ as originally intended and as seen in original opening photographs.
