After an unsuccessful trial of weekend openings, the Queensboro went dark until 1944, when two limited seasons of stage plays from the “Subway Circuit” were presented, with stars including Gloria Swanson, Ruth Chatterton, and Zasu Pitts. During closure in 1945, the operating lease was purchased by the Interboro Circuit, which opened a refurbished version as the Elmwood the following year.
