There is a small store at 4817 with a house behind it. 4811 is an apartment building. I would say the theater is long gone.

No trace of the theater at this location today.

6101 is a church on the corner of 61st and Main. 6107 is an empty lot, then there’s another building at 6111.

The Merryland Theater was advertised in the LA Times on 9/2/23 at 1015 E. 7th Street. This is probably an aka for the Dorkel.

A Broadway Theater was advertised in the LA Times on 12/20/03 – vaudeville and moving pictures. Address was 554-556 S. Broadway.

Googling shows a bunch of fast food places at 3615 Forbes Avenue (not street, is there a difference?). I counted Baja Fresh, a bagel store and a pretzel shop.

I heard that the CT book is given free of charge to prolific but impecunious contributors. Hint hint.

I would say the style is Art Deco, based on the marquee at least.

Here is an undated photo. Sorry about the quality. The photo caption says Hyde Park, MA, but given the description above I believe it’s the same theater:
