The first Cine-Teatro Manatí was a wooden structure, which opened in 1914 and was destroyed by a fire in 1928. This Art Decó theater with 700 seats, located at the José Martí Pérez Park, opened in November 1944 and initially showed Argentinean and Mexican films, and Westerns. It seems to be under renovation.
The now abandoned Cine-Teatro Fausto in La Habana was built in 1938 and designed in an Art Deco style, by architect Saturino Parajon. It has a simple Art deco facade, with vertical patterns above the entrance, flanked by horizontal delineations and has curved corners. Decorative botanical friezes and reliefs suggesting castlations on top.
It was the first theatre in Havana to have air-conditioning and its walls contain a cavity, protecting it from outside noise. The original theater was build in 1915
The wheels start running / and with flickering light / the movie grabs the spectators / for the next 90 minutes. // No longer.

De nou fou Kodak qui llençà una exitosa nova modalitat de càmera, que no estrictament de format. En aquest cas fou, el 1936, un repensament del cinema de 16mm que ja Kodak havia creat el 1923, "empaquetant-lo" en un carregador. D'aquesta manera carregar o cambiar de pel·licula era extremadament facil i ràpid.
La càmera també era més compacta que moltes de 16mm, però això es deu principalment a que els carregadors (magazines) eren de només 50 peus (15 m.) en comptes dels 100 peus (30 m.) usuals. No cal ni dir que el carregador era un model especific de Kodak, diferent d'altres com per exemple els Siemens alemanys. Precisament els carregadors de Kodak foren molt més utilitzats que qualsevol altre tipus, tant per tenir aventatges pel consumidor respecte altres models (es pot veure quanta pelicula queda disponible, cosa que el Siemens no pot), com per la potencia industrial i comercial que els acompanyava.
Aquestes càmeres de carregador eren especialment utils per als corresponsals de guerra, tant per la facilitat de cambiar pel·licula com per la seva mida compacta. Com a tal foren emprades des de la II Guerra Mundial fins com a mínim, la guerra del Vietnam.
Aquesta sembla ser una de les primeres càmeres de caset Kodak 16mm, fabricada cap a 1938, i amb 3 velocitats disponibles, 8, 16 i 64 fps. L'objectiu, intercambiable, és un Kodak Anastigmat f1,9 / 2". Funciona perfectament.

=====================================
Again it was Kodak who launched a successful new type of camera, not strictly of format. In this case it was, in 1936, a rethinking of the 16mm film that Kodak had already created in 1923, "packaging" it in a magazine. In this way loading or changing film was extremely easy and fast.
The camera was also more compact than many 16mm. ones, but this is mainly due to the fact that the magazines were only 50 feet (15 m.) instead of the usual 100 feet (30 m.) used in reels. Needless to say, the magazine was a specific model of Kodak, different from others such as the German Siemens. Precisely the Kodak magazines were more used, both for having advantages for the consumer compared to other models (you can see how much film is available, something that the Siemens cannot), and for the industrial and commercial power that accompanied them.
These magazine cameras were especially useful for war correspondents, both for the ease of changing film and for their compact size. As such they were used from World War II until at least the Vietnam War.
This appears to be one of the first Kodak 16mm magazine cameras, manufactured around 1938, and with 3 speeds available, 8, 16 and 64 fps. The interchangeable lens is a Kodak Anastigmat f1.9 / 2". It's in perfect shape of preservation and working condition.
