Sad that theatre is gone. Many of the great theatres that graced this city are long gone. I remember going to the Fox Theatre
once as a child and being overwhelmed at the grandeur and immense scale of the place.

As far as Bond films go, I didn't get to see any of them on the Big Screen until the early 70's at a repertory house
(of which SF had many great ones). Had seen them all up to that time on TV.

Seeing any of those Connery Bonds on the huge screen of the EL Rey (a church now for 30 years)
was an ABSOLUTEY MIND BLOWING TREAT! Especially Goldfinger (followed closely by Thunderball)!
