I have written on this cinema: see http://westviewnews.org/2015/05/the-lost-cinemas-of-the-west-village-the-carmine-theater/
Sloan painted the theater in 1912 so it was open then. I would like to hear from anyone who knows when it opened.
There is a remarkable painting of this theater titled CARMINE STREET THEATER by the famous turn of century artist John Sloan.

Ironically there is a Nun walking by the theater looking disapprovingly at children peeking in. Ironic because the building was removed and replaced by a large church which still stands at this site. Unoppressive Non-Imperialist Book Shop is currently across the street which ironically sells enormous numbers of cinema books every day.
The Carmine Theatre is listed in the American Motion Picture Directory 1914 – 1915 at the address 23 Carmine Street.
The Film Daily Yearbook;1926 edition lists it at 21 Carmine Street with a seating capacity of 600.
