I attended the Carey Theater a many a Saturday…stayed all day watching my favorite western stars, Charles Starrett, Wild Bill Elliott,etc., those memorable “Purple Monster Strikes” chapter serials, cartoons, and those great Columbia Comedy Shorts. There were vendors who walked the isles with large cardboard boxes of goodies for sale strapped to their shoulders.
Unless the street was renumbered at some point, that address is incorrect and so is the one given above. The Carey is listed in the Film Daily with an address of 1422 North Carey Street and an ad on the Kilduff website that I linked to on Oct 7, 2005, gives an address of 1422 North Carey Street.
The theater is listed at 1442 N. Carey in this archival item:

The Carey Theatre was one of the first Negro theatres to operate, opening in early 1916.
