Here is an expanded version of the photo above:

The marquee has been redesigned and now says New Fairfax. If you walk down the block towards Canter’s, you can still see an advertisement for the original Fairfax theater on the side of the building.

kencmcintyre commented about Glove Theatre on Feb 11, 2006 at 1:36 am

The Glove Theatre was built in 1914 for live shows. It was converted in 1920 into a vaudeville house. The current marquee was built in 1939. The theatre closed in the late 1970s. In 1995, it was nearly razed for a parking lot. The town of Gloversville was once the glove-producing capitol of the world.
