Thanks for the suggestions, Tinseltoes and J.F. Lundy. I’ve posted the photograph here. I looked for “Loew’s Vodeville,” but couldn’t find anything.

As always, Tinseltoes, thank you for your good, informative and helpful comments. I have an unrelated question for you (and others who may be reading this comment). I have a marquee photograph, probably taken in the late ‘20s or early '30s, of a clearly identified Loew’s theater and a blade sign that ends just above the entrance with the letters “…deville,” which I assume is the end of the word “vaudeville.” After a couple of hours searching this site and the Internet, I’ve come up empty. Any suggestions?

> There are likely thousands of photo links on this site that no longer work. Has anyone found a solution?

I too have found the broken links on Cinema Treasures frustrating, michael22b. Clicking here will take you to the Wayback Machine, an internet archive. Almost magically, it brings back to life most dead links. Given current events, it’s interesting to note that the Internet archive at the New Library of Alexandria, Egypt mirrors the Wayback Machine.
