Cinearte - Lisboa, Portugal - Vintage Movie Theaters on Waymarking.com

This is one of the few vintage theaters still existent in Lisbon. It was built on a spot where before one could see old factories. It was inaugurated in 1940, with about 1000 seats. The opening took place with the presence of important persons, like the mayor and the minister of education, and the screened movie was "You can't take it with you" (1938) directed by Frank Capra.

It was shut down in 1981 and reopened in 1990 as a play theater. Nowadays it's run by a theater company, "A Barraca" and recently had works to add a second stage.


There is a great article about it, including a handful of old pictures, but it's in Portuguese only:
