      Jason: Excellent work. I love the Cameo, and would love to see it restored as a theatre. How about visiting Winter Garden and photographing and posting the Garden, Gem and Annex Theatres. The Garden has been restored and is open as a live and film venue. The others are closed but still exist. See their addresses on CINEMA TREASURES.

      Orlando_Man, thanks! I only just discovered the Garden Theater today while viewing some other images. I went to their site and saw that they're playing classic films all Summer. I think that's fantastic. I'm really excited to get over there and check it out. So you can assume there will be some photos of the Garden here soon.

      Jason: The Cameo has reopened! The Greater Orlando Actors Theatre has acquired it and is now presenting its first production, "A Streetcar Named Desire." I LOVE to see an old forgetten theatre brought back to life!

      The Cameo is open but not with The Greater Orlando Actors Theatre. They were using the space not running it. There are many users of the space including live music, comedy, theater, dance, art openings or just plain birthday parties. They are currently working with the space and trying to grow it again. True direction unknown. Currently including: MegaloMusic www.myspace.com/megalomusicevents ( a live music production company) which has shows many weekend nights a month, Hump Day Humor a comedy act on Wed. nights. Many events happen here every month including upcoming "Vibe" event (this weekend) and ELLA Music Fest Oct. 1-4 www.ellamusicfest.org
      There is a Downtown revitalization by the city in this area spear headed by Mills 50. www.mills50.org
