The Tuxedo Theater was built in 1927. This theater closed around 1972. The building still stands and an address search shows a US Post Office located there today.

A Wurlitzer organ Opus 1842 Style D was installed in the Tuxedo Theater on 2/17/1928.
A biopic was made about David ‘Mickey’ Marcus in the early 60s. It was called “Cast a Giant Shadow” and it starred Kirk Douglas.
Two photographs of the Tuxedo Theatre that I took in June 2005;

In the 1970’s it also was an OTB parlor. I was there in 2007 and it’s now a furniture store, with a gigantic red canopy on the top of the exterior wall on Jerome Avenue.
Looks like the function should be changed to retail.
What type of retail store is located here? If you Google this address, it still shows a Post Office located here.
I was referring to the post by the person who went there in 2007. If it’s still a post office, then it stays a post office.
Without actually seeing the building or a recent photo of it, I can’t be 100% sure of whats located there. I did another search of 3464 Jerome Avenue and that search returned: Mosholu Station Post Office at 3464 Jerome Avenue: Monday through Saturday, 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. The closest furniture store that I can find to this address is Furniture Zone at 3448 Jerome Ave. If this address is a retail store, I can’t find anything to confirm it.
The Davis Marcus name change came from a 1950 Skouras fund raising effort to benefit the United Jewish Appeal in aiding Israel’s development.
In his book MY HAPPY DAYS IN HOLLYWOOD, television director Garry Marshall (Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley) talks about working in the Tuxedo as a boy. He vividly recalls working there during a showing of Ingrid Berman’s GASLIGHT as well as attending it on Saturdays to watch Flash Gordon serials.
