Although I read a recent AOL thread naming this theatre the Wendy, I’m tending to agree with the previous comment that it may actually have been the Darby Theatre. As there is no intersection of 13th & Chester Pike, I believe the address was meant to read “13 Chester Pike” as that is the site I am thinking of. Also of cinematic note, W.C. Fields was believed to have been born a few doors up at the old National Hotel at what would have been 1 Chester Pike.
