Google needed a filter on their camera when they took those photos. Was this theatre known by another name prior to being the Gateway?

Not sure. I only found the theater by going through the American Classic Images database.

Possibly formerly known as the Columbia Theatre?

Move the gold guy down the street a bit and you get a much better view of the theater.

I worked at this theatre back in 1976 to 1979. The separate box office,balcony and restrooms upstairs were still there from the segregation times and you could still hear a gun shot from the balcony at 10:30pm everynight when that guy was shot. Did not like being up there working alone AT ALL.

Everytime we heard the shot, I thought a xenon bulb had exploded but to no avail. You could smell fresh burnt gun powder though.
