I added a picture I took in 2016. Looks like it’s been spruced up a bit since then. Still need to fix the address, dates, etc.

The address is wrong. The theater was at 116. It did have a 111 address until sometime between 1948 and 1953.

It seems to have been an extensive remodel of the southern half of very old commercial building dating to before 1886. The space is shown as a grocery on the 1917 map, but was operating by 1924. Obviously, the art deco facade dates to some later point. The theater remains in operation on the 1953 map. It was converted to retail at some point, but appears vacant.
