The Embassy theatre did not survive until the 1980’s as mentioned above. The fire that destroyed the Embassy occured in I believe, 1973. The theatre was to have been renovated and incorporated into a city plan to develop the downtown area of the Genesee river,which ran behind the theatre. The Rochester Riverside Convention Center now sits on the site.
I don’t recall a Wurlitzer theatre organ in the Murray Theatre during the 1940s. Could it have been removed from the theatre prior to this period? I remember an upright piano,to the left side of the stage. Circa 1944.

Is there anyone who can offer further information or possibly a photo of the Murray Theatre?
