That is most likely the Eureka Theater at 40th and Market. I don’t see the Eureka Theater listed on here.

I’m trying to place this theater at 40th and Market, photo is from 1949. It looks like it says “Ericka” on the marquee. If you recognize it let me know.

A Moller theater organ opus 2415 size 2/16 was installed in the Knickerbocker Theater in 1917. That organ was replaced by a Moller theater organ opus 3112 size 4/25 in 1921.

In 1919 Mr. Edward M. Fay bought the Knickerbocker Theatre and gave it his name. He was also associated with a group of theatres he owned in Providence, Rhode Island, where he was born. One of them, Fays Theatre, also bore his name and was a famous vaudeville house in that city. He had also managed the National Theatre in Rochester and acquired the McKinley Square Theater in Manhattan. This information comes from a biographical entry for Fay in the volume Rhode Island – Three Centuries of Democracy.
