From an article?
Who knows where the 390 came from? Not from me. At least there’s some basis for the 1200.
I don’t know where the 390 count came from either. Your right about it needing to be updated. The seat count in 1955 was 1,200. The address given is 439 East Park Avenue. Google won’t map it but that is the address given for the Park Theater.
OK, thanks for the information.
Boxoffice had a photo of the auditorium of the Park Theater, taken about an hour after the ceiling collapsed.
Seeing the size of the place in the photo, I’d say 390 was closer to the actual seating capacity than 1,200 is, even though Boxoffice itself gave 1,200 as the capacity in another issue. A picture is worth a thousand words- or in this case, minus eight hundred or so seats.
Address:

It looks like the building is still standing.
The building is still standing, but google maps are off by a couple blocks. Move the arrow to the 400 block and you can see the theatre. The header needs to be updated to closed but not demolished and the address needs to be added.
