I have been told that the building was recently bought by another furniture store. The marquee has been removed and new alterations have been made to accommodate the store.

Loew’s 46th Street theatre (formely The Universal) was originally
called “The theatre of delightful surprises.” Even after showing continuous movies after sound films, it did have stage shows & concerts.(Ex:Loew’s “West-End vaudeville circuit, concert recitals-including the great Jewish cantor Yosel Rosenblatt.) During the early 1950’s, The Brooklyn Dodgers sponsered Happy Felton’s talent shows for neighborhood children on Saturday mornings. Local dance studios had shows there as well. After Loew’s sold it in the 1960’s, many famous stars appeared there & it became known as the theatre of stars. (During weekday afternoons, Bingo was played.) The manager
told me the theatre was doing well, so I was surprised when it closed in 1973.

As a venue for rock concerts in the 1970’s, this theater was called The 46th Street Rock Palace.

In its final XXX days, this theater also offered concerts as Banana Fish Park. Billy Joel, among others, played here. ABC television used to present a rock concert series taped here.
