This was one of the few newsreel theaters that survived the advent of TV, at least into the mid 1950's. Not particularly distinguished architecturally, or in interior decor, but one of the glitziest facades I can remember with gold-mirror plating on the front of the building and an animated neon marquee almost as big as the building itself. Closed in the mid 50's and converted to office space in 1963.

1951 FDY lists an Embassy Theater at 347 Main Street. Is this the same theater?

TC;
My 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook gives a street address of the Pix Newsreel Theatre as 319 Main Street. The Embassy Theatre at 347 Main St had 1,915 seats.

I have an address of 139 Main.
