The Tribune Theatre occupied space that had been headquarters for The New York Tribune before the newspaper merged with The Herald. Showing late-run double features, the Tribune Theatre did most of its business during daytime, since the downtown financial and government district was nearly deserted at night.

A rare ad for "Downtown's Most Beautiful Theatre." This was a 1948 reissue of two WB classics:

The earliest c/o that I can find for a motion picture theater at this address is dated April 30, 1935. It was a 580 seat theater.

The entire block in which the Tribune stood has been demolished, and is now occupied by a modern monstrosity belonging to Pace University. Nassau Street now seems to end at #150, which is on the southeast corner with Spruce Street. The area in front of Pace University is called Pace Plaza. This photo was taken on Pace Plaza, looking south towards 150 Nassau Street, which is the building with the red-and-white sign on the corner of it:

Here is an ad for the Tribune which shows it operating as the City Hall Cinema briefly during the summer of 1965.

The Tribune's entrance and marquee can be seen in the left background of this March 1954 photo taken in City Hall Park. Look for the low building with four billboards at the top and then scan down to street level:
