Bob, do you remember the Sunset?
The address listed in the introduction is incorrect. Proctor’s was situated at 112 East 125th Street, which is on the east side of Harlem. The address displayed here is not only incorrect, but also on the west side of Harlem, a considerable walking distance from 112 East 125th Street…On second thought, perhaps it’s the name of the theatre and not the address that’s incorrect? The seating capacity suggests a much smaller theatre than Proctor’s 125th St. Perhaps this is really intended to be a listing for the Sunset Theatre, which was situated at 316 West 125th Street? But if this listing is changed to Sunset Theatre, will there still be a listing for Proctor’s?
AlAlvarez—Sorry to say, no. On West 125th St. I recall the Loew’s Victoria & the Harlem (Opera House), and the Appollo.

Does anyone know anything about the Harlem Orpheum inside the Majestic Hall building? I have found no signs of it ever showing movies nor Vaudeville but it sure looks like it should have.

Where is the theatre in the Google Maps view? I see a bank, which was always a bank. Perhaps the “corrector” mistook it for a theatre?
