East of Crescent, on one of those all-too-few blocks of Fulton Street that never had an el over them !

The nearby Embassy was under the el !

Was this theater located along the J subway line’s Fulton St El, or was it east of Crescent St, after the point where the J line el swings over to Jamaica Ave?

Thanks for clarifying the opening date lostmemory. I took the 1930 date from the Mike Rivest Ultimate Movie Theatre and Drive-in Guide.

The Gem Theatre opened in 1930. The Film Daily Yearbook’s 1941 & 1943 list the seating capacity as 600. The 1950 edition lists 589 seats.
