The Morningside Theatre is listed as operating in editions of Film Daily Yearbook from at least 1926 though to 1957 and possibly beyond.

There is a bank on the corner of Eighth (Frederick Douglass Avenue) and 116th, listed as 2149 Eighth. The rest of the block up to 115th is a very large hole in the ground. 2139 Eighth would have been part of that side of the street. Perhaps the theater is no more.

Perhaps? Are we speculating on all of these theaters?

This was already showing movies in 1919 according to a Paramount Week ad in the NYT.

Located at 2135 Eighth Avenue in Manhattan. There is a quick shot of the marquee in the 1970 film "Cotton Comes to Harlem". It appeared to be a church at the time.
