Grand Movie Palaces At The Bijou

In an homage to the venues of classic movies, rather than the films themselves, Matinee At The Bijou reposted an interesting article by Marco Siegel-Acevedo from his blog The Last Palace about the grand movie palaces of the early 20th Century.  Pictured above is the Loew's Wonder Theatre at 175th Street in New York.
