hitman531ph Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Rizal Theater in Makati. It was one of the classier cinemas in the late 60s, 70s and 80s. It later closed down in the late 80s due to fierce competition. People started going to malls to see a movie instead. In the late 90s it was torn down. The site where Rizal Theater used to be is now 6750 Ayala. Quote Link to comment
Mandrake Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 (edited) A night time photo of 60s/70s Rizal Avenue Ideal Theater was called EE-DEE-AL instead of its proper pronunciation by people in the area. The theater burned down in the 80s. That brought back great childhood stuff along memory lane that is Rizal Ave.It was in "Eeedeeyal" Theater where I first saw this stunning actress watch a Steve Mcqueen movie.

abujjam Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Excellent pictures! Hitman531ph, Where did you get your pictures? They're great! Or are they just from a book? I have been looking for pictures to frame and hang them on my wall. Especially the one I saw in Museo Pangbata. It is a panoramic view of Pasig River in the 40's with Jones Bridge in the forefront and the buidlings of alongside the river in the background. Complete with billboards and signs (not sure if neon) of American companies that were present here in that era. Hope you can help me out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
