The address is actually Dirksen Parkway, named in honor of the late Senator from Illinois. There is a hotel at that address now, but the former theater building may be on another part of the property: http://tinyurl.com/2rkbxt
Scroll down to Nov. 23, 1907, it looks like that theater building collapsed after the fire, so probably a different building: http://www.swnh.org/otd-sort-year.htm

I went through the Princess theaters and former Princess Theaters, but no luck identifying this Iowa building. If anyone recognizes it, let me know: http://tinyurl.com/34ejhw
That’s why I try to avoid adding theaters for some of these cities that have several hundred listings. Unless you go through each one, odds are that you will be duplicating an entry somewhere.
The marquee seen on this site should be the Sky View. I actually went to the Pig Hip in July 2006 and met the very personable owner. I understand that the Pig Hip was lost in a fire sometime this year. http://tinyurl.com/27ks6q
I couldn’t figure out if those were people or statues, or if it was a permanent display, or just a promotion for the movies. Convoy was about the British Navy, so maybe they’re supposed to be sailors.
The 1941 Philadelphia directory has a listing for a New Broadway at Hope & York Streets, which I assume is this theater. There is also a listing for a Ruby Theater at Franklin and Fairmount Avenues. That may be listed here under some other name.
I am Bill McIntyre’s son, but it is a coincidence. My dad never made it out of New Jersey. He would have gotten a laugh out of that.

The Tingel-Tangel was across the street in 1934. I think this was a playhouse:

The address is 14528 Plowden Mill Road. The business is Country Store Antiques.
Those are good photos. I think they mean loge instead of lodge, however. Part of the building may be a furniture store now, but that’s unconfirmed.
I’ll bet their premiums went up.

I only saw the preview. Here is a shot of an old sign on the side of the Albert:

There is a reference in NY Times archives to a fire at the Albert on November 23, 1907 that caused damage of $100,000.
Here is another photo. The drive-in is closed.

Dryvin Lady is quoting someone else on her webpage, so reliability of the information is in question. The majority says it’s a twin, so a twin it is.
