Ten years later - in 1946 when Gilda de Abreu's 'O ébrio' with Vicente Celestino opened, one could clearly see Cine UFA-Palacio that had changed its name to Art-Palacio, in 1942, looked dilapidated. Sooner they would 'renovate' it and those glorious Art-Deco columns would simply disappear...  

'O ébrio' (The drunkard) opened on 2nd December 1946, at Cine Art Palacio. 
'Maltese Falcon' (Relíquia macabra) with Humphrey Bogart & Mary Astor is shown at Cine Art Palacio in 1942.
