In a comment for the nearby Star Theatre LOUB wrote that there used to be a theatre at the corner of Delaware Street and Broad Street right next to it.

I spoke to the pastor of the Bethesda Full Gospel Church at 12 Delaware Street (on the corner of Broad Street) and he confirmed that their building was once a theatre and said it was called the Flash Theatre.

I found a google books document of an old 1917 publication of the National American Musical Convention that featured and ad for "The R.S. Brown Hotel Company: Owner FLASH THEATRE. Tonawanda’s Fashionable Moving Picture House. Latest Productions Featured Here. Ten Cents To All."

The Flash Theatre was not listed in the 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory, but it was open by at least 1917.
