Listed as the Lincoln Square Theatre in the American Motion Picture Directory 1914-1915. Ornate inside, as were most Loew’s theaters in their heydey.
A midnight blaze destroyed the theater and six story office structure on January 30, 1931. The theater had just emptied moments before.
The Julliard School opened on the site in 1969.

ken mc’s picture is sad but a great find,only picture I have seen of the LOEWS LINCOLN.
Here is a snapshot of the Loew’s Lincoln Square Theater in its last incarnation as CBS TV Studio 60. This picture was taken by my father, Merwin Dembling, in December of 1959; the view is looking towards the northwest across Broadway from the corner of 65th St :

A December 1951 article on the New York Times says it was already a CBS studio so that may be the year it stopped showing films.
Here’s a vintage view of the auditorium: View link
And another of the entrance as Loew’s Lincoln Square: View link
Nice find. I have only seen photos of this place when it is on fire.
Here’s another exterior view, but probably on 66th Street, since no entrance is shown, only exits: View link
Nice vintage photo Tinseltoes.
The photo posted on Feb,23,2010 states seating for 1600.
It should be noted that the site currently includes a well known performance space in Alice Tully Hall, which recently underwent an ambitous redesign and renovation that was completed in 2009.
