Luna Theater was located where Veterans Park is now, between The Winner Building (32 West) and Donna’s Diner (10 West).
Thanks. I didn’t catch that.
I saw a WTTW/PBS thing in Chicago, and a woman reminiscing about the Marbro Theatre mentioned they were required to turn off the entire marquee for safety.
So that large venues with known crowds would not be visible to potential air strikes.
I uploaded what might possibly be the Studio vertical sign, but with the colors reversed from the original.
The shape is the same.
Maybe doubleAA above can confirm if it was changed in the `60s.
If not, I will continue to search for which Studio Theatre it may be.

The original Lovejoy Theater, circa 1919.
A cherished snapshot from my personal collection.
TEMPTATION – a lost silent comedy film directed by Cecil B DeMille – was originally released 30 December 1915. It was also very successfully re-released in March of 1919. This fits in nicely with the information that the Lovejoy re-opened in 1919.
Must have opened prior to 1972.
