The Studio Theater chain of 5 [[?) movie houses came up in a wine infused conversation the other night, and now I need sage Forum recollections of these locations. This is what I recall: Studio North was in Ferndale in the current Magic Bag location. Studio 8 was on Greenfield at 8 Mile in a shopping center east of Northland [[saw Hugh Heffner's production of Roman Polanski's adaptation of "Macbeth" there.) Then there was the Studio 4 up in Birmingham [[Five Easy Pieces, Fellini's "Amarcord," Terrence Malick's "Badlands.") and the Studio New Center, directly west of the Fisher Building [[Fellini's "Satyricon" and "King of Marvin Gardens.") Oh, and the Studio Theater, the original, which I never attended, and can't recall where it was located?

Back in the 60's and 70's these theaters exhibited a nurturing first run opportunity for foreign films and independent American fare. But memories fade and I will appreciate the better memories from DetroitYes folk.
