Jerry, Thanks for posting the photo of the City Theatre, it is not the Academy of Music though. It is the City Theatre, located just along the street at number 114 E. 14th Street. The City Theatre has its own page /theaters/1326/
The Regent Theatre can be seen on centre left of this photograph (the building with the vast white roof): View link

Don, It opened as the El Rey Theatre (in 1940’s and 1950’s editions of Film Daily Yearbook), then (I believe) its final times as a movie theatre it was re-named Reel Theatre. It has now gone back to its original name El Rey.
The Caley Picture House can be seen in this vintage 1959 photograph; It’s the dark building jutting out, mid-distance on the right, just beyond the bus: http://flickr.com/photos/allybeag/838615722/
