Viewing: Photo | Street View

Opened as the Royal Theatre in 1928 and was later renamed the World Theatre. Seating was given at 420. The architectual firm for the World was Gurda & Gurda. This theatre was part of the Fox Theatres chain for a while.

The World Theatre closed in 1985 and later became a church. Any further information on the World would be appreciated.

On the Google Maps streetview, the name “Iglesia Pentecostal” can be seen on the marquee.

You can still see the ticket booth, and the globes in the architecture, which appear to be painted blue.
