The nightclub BLVD and concert venue Crash Mansion downstairs is located at this address currently. Not sure if its housed in the old theater or a new building.
The BLVD is part of a newly constructed high-irse, an example of the rampant gentrification of the Bowery and the rest of the Lower East Side.
The Film Daily Yearbook,1930 edition gives a seating capacity of 1,612.
The Peoples operated at least from 1930 to 1941.
This theatre, along with the Eltinge (Empire), Gaiety, and Irving Place, was temporarily shut down during the 1937 crackdown on Burlesque.
Another location missing the intro.
