This webpage includes pictures of the Birmingham Theater under its various names (as well as some of other Birmingham, Alabama theaters).

There is a great deal more about the Temple Theatre on this webpage (scan down toward the bottom of the page). The information indicates that the theater was demolished, apparently around 1970, and that it was used more frequently as a venue for live theater than for showing movies in spite of its being operated by both Loew’s and Paramount over the years. Loew’s moved its operations here in 1925 after previously housing them
at the Bijou which apparently later became the Pantages.
I find it interesting though that Cincinnati had to two theaters operating at least for some time that were at least partially named Liberty. This New Liberty apparently existed from 1918 to a least 1936 and probably beyond at least for awhile. However the other Liberty Theater on Spring Grove Avenue,which apparently operated as a theater from 1909-1929 (and which still looks like a nickleodeon-style theater in its present use as a restaurant), overlapped the New Liberty’s theatrical existence for at least a decade.
