Guardian New Edinburgh Pharmacy is the current tenant, and it appears from the odd shape of the facade compared to the 1956 photo that it is indeed the same building but refaced.
Below link says it was on Route 1, owned by R.K. Dennison and had 500 seats.
Overview photo is from 1927.
“Knockout Reilly” with Richard Dix advertised.
Saw this photo posted on the CT main page.
It is the Midwest Theatre in Oklahoma City OK, mocked up as the Biograph for filming of “Dillinger” in 1972.

Shortly after the opening, owners William and Bertha Pearl executed a 15 year lease for both the Alycon and Pearl for 35,000$/year to the Highland Park Theater Co, according to the Chicago Tribune (Nov. 3, 1925), citing lawyers for both parties. The 1925 theater installed a “3/13” Barton Organ. (Junchen, David L. Encyclopedia of the American Theatre Organ. Pasadena, Calif: Showcase Publications, 1985.) In January 1928, a “bandit” robbed the safe and fled with $2100, 3 days income. The thief covered the assistant manager, Saul Greenberg, with a blanket before locking him in the washroom. (Chicago Daily Tribune) The Bulletin of the Chicago Medical Society V33 cites the Alycon for installing systems so the “hearing impaired” could listen to “Talkies.”
In 1940, Pearl installed additional RCA sound equipment in the (now) 1150 seat theater.“ (Motion Picture Herald. New York, N.Y: Quigley Pub. Co., vol. 140, nos. 71-113. 1940.)
