The Paris Cinema holds a very dear place in my memories.
During Graduate Film School at NYU and after, I would go to the Paris all the time to see the latest French films.
I am glad it has survived...but it has been a while since I have seen a movie there.
As to internet about the history of the place:
The Paris Theater opened on September 13, 1948 when actress Marlene Dietrich cut the inaugural ribbon in the presence of the French Ambassador to the United States.[1] The Paris was owned and managed by Pathé Cinema until 1990. Loews Theaters then took over the operation and it underwent a name change until 1994 when the space was purchased by Sheldon Solow.[1]
The Paris has been a destination for many of the city's intellectuals and movie conoisseurs, as motion pictures by directors like Federico Fellini and Franco Zeffirelli were shown, along with many others.
