The 1914-1915 edition of American Motion Picture Directory has a Naval Family Theatre, 211 Sands Street, Brooklyn. The 1926 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Navy Theatre, 211 Sands Street, with a seating capacity of 300.
The Gold Theatre, 178 Sands Street seems to first appear in the 1927 edition of Film Daily Yearbook. The Navy Theatre is still listed that year.
The 1930 edition of F.D.Y. has the Gold Theatre listed but not the Navy Theatre, nor is there a High Theatre in any listings that I have.
In 1941 the Gold Theatre is at 176 Sands Street and the seating capacity has increased to 544 (498 in 1943).
By 1950, there are no theatres operating in Sands Street.
Could the High Theatre be a later a name for the Navy Theatre? If screening Spanish Language movies it may not have got into the listings.
