The exterior (rebuilt facade and entrance) photographed in July 2003. The brick mass of the auditorium block can be seen at the rear:

Does anyone know any thing about Harry Hart who ran a small string of vaudeville theaters on the east coat and in the midwest with his office located in NYC during the 1909 to 1934 era? Where might I look to find his obit, as Variety and Billboard were not of any help in this search? Mr. Hart was aligned with the Gus Sun Curcuit and used that organization to book his theatrical acts.
This theater was operated by Loew’s from at least 1919 to 1932. In 1922 it is listed as seating 1890 people
There are two theatres with the same name at the same location. One operated from 1919 to 1932. The other from 1933 to 1963.
Another former Loews to add to my list.Too bad no vintage photos.
I moved to NYC in 1970 and if I remember correctly, there was a Cosmo Theater between 3rd and Lexington on 116th Street, but I don’t remember if it was open and showing movies at the time.
The Cosmo is listed.

Thanks, Al.
What is the relevance of WICKED ORANGE COUNTY to the 116th Street Theatre? Should “Annacrasto” be burned as a witch? She/he/it seems to be posting the same message all across this website.
I’ve sent an email to CT administrators to delete the annacrasto account and all its messages as spam.
