This theatre was AKA the Fox Washington, located at 1505-13 Washington, Detroit, Mi.
Now demolished, was built 1913 and was closed or demolished in 1928, was located next to the Statler Hotel. When the Statler hotel added the 200 room expansion in 1916, it was created between the existing hotel and the Washington Theatre. Picture of Washington

Here is a page about the Fox Washington Theatre at the web site Buildings of Detroit. There is a gallery with four black-and-white photos, plus a color postcard.
Such a beautiful building and it only lasted 15 years. Seems people were just as wasteful then as now.
