Another Disney Connection

As I mentioned, we were in NYC last week seeing my cousin perform in Cinderella on Broadway.  While getting a backstage tour after the show (so very cool!), my cousin informed me that we were standing on sacred Disney ground. You see, the Broadway Theatre (yes, that's the name, not just a description) where patrons come to see Cinderella was once a movie theatre. And can you guess what 1928 short film premiered there? Steamboat Willie! Of course, back then it was called Universal's Colony Theatre (and later called  B.S. Moss' Broadway Theatre...then Earl Carroll's Broadway Theatre...and Ciné Roma), but it's the same place. Here are a few pictures, both inside and out:
