Portland State University purchased the theater in the 1980s. In 1989, a group of students formed the PSU Film Committee and opened the former Cini-Mini as the 5th Avenue Cinema, with the intention of providing a fun venue for PSU students interested in film, as well as for the general public.
The Maltese Falcon introduced Peter Lorre to Humphrey Bogart, with whom he became lifelong friends and appeared in an additional four movies, three at Warner Bros. The movie also introduced Peter Lorre to Sydney Greenstreet, his partner-in-crime; the two actors – popularly known as the Abbott and Costello of Crime – went on to entertain audiences in eight more movies at Warner Bros. and also appeared on radio together.
In The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen D. Youngkin discusses the friendship of Peter and Bogie, as well as the nine movies of Lorre and Greenstreet. The book is available in hard-back, soft-bound, Kindle, and Nook editions.
