The instrument of choice for the Warwick Theatre was the American Fotoplayer by the American Photo Player Company.
This opened on September 26th, 1914. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Listed as the Fox Warwick, last day as a movie theater was Sunday, May 24, 1953 with CALL ME MADAME (sic) starring Ethel Merman, and Van Johnson & Janet Leigh in CONFIDENTIALLY CONNIE. [Kansas City Star]
The Kansas City Star is reporting that the Warwick Theater has been purchased by the Metropolitan Ensemble Theatre company for use as a live performance venue.

…so it’s not Soreal design, the comment above says that moved. But the signs are still there. So is it vacant or has something else moved in I wonder.
The google street view indicates “Soreal Design” is located there, and the ariel view says “City in Motion School of Dance” . At least it’s occupied, and the front facade (a nice classical romanesque design) looks in great shape.
The Warwick is indeed for sale or potentially for lease.
I am trying to locate some of the older photos to put up on this site when the photo system is back up and running, so stay tuned…
Please give me a call for further information.

I believe this building is owned by the same owner as the Uptown in KC, MO. Until recently the Warwick housed Soreal Design which has now moved. The building is currently for sale or lease-

I’ve heard this is mostly stripped inside & not much representing a theatre is left because it held a department type store at one time. Looking through the window it seems to have a concession stand counter, though if it is original or retro-fitted I don’t know.
