Elias, do you happen to have a list of all the theatres that J.M. Berlinger worked on? Was it many or just a few?
Sorry, no. There is probably an architectural society that has more detail on his work. He left no children; I’m trying to find a closer relative that might have more information.
As mentioned previously, the architects name was J.M. Berlinger or Joseph M. Berlinger.
Also, screens should be set to one.
This 1933 photo was previously posted, but now has a fuller view of the vertical sign and top of the building: View link 324
Does this building even exist? Looking at the old photo posted on Feb, 3, 2007 by JF Lundy, and then looking at the street view, no massive fascade like that exist at 40th and 15th.
I believe I corrected the street view down the next block. Across from Munkacs Car Service – which is listed at 4002 15th Ave. Unfortunately, the image is almost completely bleached out by sun glare.
Well… my mistake. The view is wrong. I am on the wrong corner. According to city records, the address 4001 15th Ave was on the SE corner of 15th Ave and 40th Street. Condominium apartments were erected on that site in 1982, so the theater has been completely demolished and replaced, not gutted and re-purposed as the introductory comments to the page suggest. If someone at CT can unlock the street view, I will make the appropriate adjustments for a proper current view.
