    What a beautiful theatre it was, Cloudia! Loved the video of its original condition.

    Our most beautiful movie theater in town was torn down a long time ago with the smaller ones too. We have one original theater left; it's used for stage plays. We also had an organ in the one at the beginning of my comment.

    I hate hearing about these beautiful buildings getting demolished. It's too bad they couldn't turn it into a live theater, or something.

    I wonder what's in its place now?

    My heart breaks a little when I hear of these beautiful buildings - especially theatres - demolished.

    I think I went to the Waikiki Theatre only once and I think it was to see The Sound of Music.

    Beautiful in its day. We've lost a good number of theatres in the core of our city, all while megaplexes open up in the outlying areas.

    The old Time downtown theatres were so imaginative and a treat to visit. It's a shame that this one was demolished. Sad.

    I wish they hadn't torn it down. I think it is better to save some nostalgic landmarks.

    It is a pity all these beautiful theaters in many places have been pulled down. Only the memories lived on....

    Old theatre's you can't beat them, we have a few they have a more comfortable feeling about them than the new ones.
