not a great shot but here is 1940 tax photo http://nycma.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/s/1e4m6v
No, actually the theater closed in 1978. The last picture I saw there was the Bill Cosby Sidney Potier 1977 film, ‘A Piece Of The Action’.
Stopped showing films in 1976.
The architect was Charles Goodman.
Check out the odd vertical with the arrows…..did it once say RKO?

Small item from the NYT dated 10/12/63:
A movie projectionist was shot and robbed yesterday in the projection booth of Roosevelt Theater, Seventh Avenue, the police reported today.
It was still open in 1971 showing one of MGM’s Family Matinee’s.
