Not to be confused with another Court Theatre located at 620 Third Street (which has its own page on Cinema Treasures). This earlier Court Theatre was built by Albert Court and opened around 1917. The Court Theatre was destroyed by fire on July 12, 1945.

Lost Memory,
Great idea to have both Court Theaters listed. I have a picture of Albert Court standing outside one of the Court Theaters and from the movie poster he is standing by it may of been the original Court Theater he built. Is there anyone out there that has a picture of the original Court Theater?
The two films advertised on posters visible in the photograph of Albert Court are as follows:to his right
The Cheat(1923) starring Pola Negri,directed by George Fitzmaurice. This movie was a remake of a 1915 silent movie starring Fannie Ward and directed by Cecil B de Millle. Behind hiom is a poster advetisinDressmaker from Parisstarring Ernest Torrence,Allan Forrest and Mildred Harris. This movie was produced by Cecil B de Mille and has a screen story by Howard Hawks. All information obtained from web sites.Lost memory, please look at my latest posting on the other Court Theater site. Thanks Roger Court
Hello, the movie Dressmaker from Paris is from 1925
The May 18, 1946 issue of Boxoffice Magazine gives the date of the fire which destroyed this theater as July 12, 1945. An earlier mention of the fire in the July 21, 1945, issue of Boxoffice calls it the Livingston Theatre, at Livingston, operated by Stanly Court. A few even earlier issues of Boxoffice also call it the Livingston Theatre. That have been the name of the house during the early 1940s, or the copy writer at Boxoffice might have just been careless. Local newspaper ads or a directory listing for the theater during that period could provide an answer, if somebody has access to either.
Oh, “That might have been the name….”
Clearly, I’m careless enough to have been a copy writer at Boxoffice Magazine myself.
