The building is still standing, but very dilapidated. You can still the Alhambra sign on the tower. The frontage is occupied by a branch of the Israel Discount Bank.

Very interesting – not illustrated in the two books I have about interwar Tel Aviv! Anybody know if it still exists?

Here are three photos of the Alhambra Cinema in Yafo (Jaffa), Tel Aviv from the Library of Congress. The first two are exterior shots, the third shows the auditorium during a choir concert in 1944. The only other information on the Alhambra I could find was a blurb in a Jan. 2001 article mentioning “IDF forces mustering in front of the derelict Alhmabra Cinema”.
