The Boulevard Theater is a former movie theater located at 7770 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami, Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/10894 )〕 It is owned by theater and nightclub proprietor and former Broadway theater producer Leroy Griffith. The theater has variously served as a night club and adult movie theater. It is currently an adult entertainment club, Wonderland. ==History== The Boulevard's doors first opened on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 21, 1940. Hailed as "the finest neighborhood theater in the South," the Boulevard featured modern amenities unique to the period, including a massive air conditioning system, acoustical walls, and neon lighting. The theater, part of the Paramount Theatres chain, debuted with a matinee showing of ''Rhythm on the River'', starring Bing Crosby and Mary Martin. Purchased by Griffith for $165,000 in 1970 and renamed the ''Pussycat'', he created three different theaters within: the ''Pussycat'', the center theater, was a 900-seat theater that showed adult films including ''Deep Throat''; the ''Kitty Cat'' featured female performers; and the ''Tomcat'' featured male performers. Over the decades, the theater has also been known variously as ''Black Gold'', ''Club Madonna II'', ''Pussycat II'', and ''Shadows''. Community activists have tried, and failed, to shut down the theater during its time as an adult club. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boulevard Theater (Miami)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
