The theatre was on a former estate which had been converted into a country club. When the club was disbanded the owner, Edith Gordon, rebuilt the old club house into a modern summer theatre. It was call the Sayville Summer Playhouse. The theatre burned down in 1958 some years after it had been converted into a movie theatre (second run and laterly, art films).
As I mentioned in my comments on the Sayville Opera House a series of fires in the late-1950’s and early-1960’s destroyed many of the historical buildings in the village.

When the Playhouse was “alive” they used to advertise “at the foot of Candee Avenue” which was at the Great South Bay in the middle of nowhere. Having done the research the location estate/country club/summer theatre makes sense.
