Listed as the Photoplay Theatre in the American Motion Picture Directory 1914-1915.
Shows up in a September 1, 1918 NY Times full page ad for Paramount and Artcarft product.
“It is just as important to project the right sort of pictures ‘over here’ as it is to fire the right sort of cartridges ‘over there’"
reads the WWI ad.
Hmmm, I noticed two old abandoned theaters yesterday on my ride up Third Ave. There’s three Third Ave theaters in Harlem listed on the site.
I think this theater has been demolished.
The Department of Buildings returns an invalid address for 1770 Third Avenue. I would assume that whatever was located here no longer exists.
This is still listed as open in the 1947 Film Daily Yearbook.
A very rare photo from 1911 of the Photoplay Theatre on a busy corner in New York city. A Rexall drug store occupies the front of the building and the theatre entrance is visible at the left center of the photo.
Very nice vintage photo Don.
