Information for this tour was contributed by Paul Linfesty. The Virginia opened in 1922. In 1963, its name changed to Paris Theatre, showing porn/"blue" movies. The name changed again in 1967, to Cinema 19 showing foreign and art product, but slipped into porn again ... first soft, then hard. Sometime in the 1980s it became an adult book store and mini-theatre, keeping the name.
