Gary Theater

The Gary opened in 1913, at the corner of Broadway and Fifth Avenue. It could originally seat 1162, and may have been a rebuilt or remodeled version of an earlier theater of the same name, since telephone listings as early as 1906 list a Gary Theater on the site. Also, early postcards of the 1913 Gary Theater refer to it as the New Gary Theater.

Originally the Gary was primarily a vaudeville house, but later switched over exclusively to movies. It was closed and torn down long ago, and today an office building sits on the site.
