The Harrowgate Theatre opened in 1923 with a seating capacity of 1013. The theatre was located on Kensington Avenue at Ruth Street. The Harrowgate closed sometime in 1954. According to the Philadelphia tax records, the mason-front building is still standing but in sub-par condition.

A Moller theater organ opus 2949 was installed in the Harrowgate Theater in 1920.
Here is an undated photo:

Rhapsody in Blue with Robert Alda and Joan Leslie was released in September of 1945.
It appears that 1945 is the correct date since that photo is the same as the circa 1945 photo on this website.
According to Google street views, this is nopw part of Harrowgate Park – the buildings on the other side of the street are very small – definitely theatre buildings.
