The 69th Street Theater was opened in the summer of 1921. It is listed in 1943 as being operated by Warner Bros. Circuit Management. Closed as a movie theatre in 1965, the last film being Tony Curtis in “The Great Race”. It was then occasionally used for boxing matches, then briefly reopened in 1981.
In 2014 it was operating as Theatre 7000 presenting live theatre events with a religious theme.

It was Bobbc316 in the late 60’s early 70’s they did have boxing.
Please update status to open live theater.
The accompanying map would put the theater at 7926 West Chester Pike (@ Carol Boulevard), nine blocks from its actual location. Someone is in need of geography lessons!
The correct address is: 7000 Terminal Square — Upper Darby PA 19082-2329.
On the outside, all traces of the 69th Street Theater have been removed and the building has been returned to its original appearance. On the inside, the theater remains, as the Overflow Theater. Operated by Inner-City Movement, a Christ based non-profit, the theater is a workshop designed to equip youth in evangelism and peer discipleship through theater arts. Live productions are presented. Apartments, offices and retail occupy the rest of the building.
Looks like the Theatre is now know as Theatre 7000, still operated by icmovement.org. Here are links to videos of the concept and renovation of the theatre. There are some good views of the interior.

I love it. This theater is part of my childhood. Amen to this organization for renovating this theater and make it alive again.
New photo added of the new signage for Theater 7000.
I saw Boxing matches there. They featured Broomall boxer Augie Pantellas.
