Here's one in Pretoria: Africa's first and last 'atmospheric theatre'. Sadly in decay now.

Sad to see: especially pages 2 and 3.  :bluesad:

The last one in my area was The Granada in Malden, Massachusetts.  I used to go there when I was a kid and then as a teenager.  Here are some movies I saw there in the 1970s and 80s:

* MOTHER'S DAY (1980) and DAWN OF THE DEAD (1978) double feature
* CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954) and IT CAME FROM  OUTER SPACE (1953) double feature in 3-D!
* ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969)
* MOONRAKER (1979)
* THE ROSE (1979)
* UP IN SMOKE (1978) and THE WARRIORS (1979) double feature
* YOR, THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE (1983)

I'm sure there are others that I can't remember at the moment.

     PALACE THEATRE (PALACE CIVIC CENTER) LORAIN, OHIO

     This was the original exterior; the vertical part of the marquee was gone by the time I came along....

     The auditorium looks like this....

After a refurbishment (and name change) in 1976, the outside looks thus....

     The Lorain Palace Civic Center, on the National Register of Historic Places....big whoop- I'd rather have the old Palace back.
