A very rare photo from 1911 of the Photoplay Theatre on a busy corner in New York city. A Rexall drug store occupies the front of the building and the theatre entrance is visible at the left center of the photo.

This is still listed as open in the 1947 Film Daily Yearbook.

I think this theater has been demolished.

Hmmm, I noticed two old abandoned theaters yesterday on my ride up Third Ave. There’s three Third Ave theaters in Harlem listed on the site.

Shows up in a September 1, 1918 NY Times full page ad for Paramount and Artcarft product.

“It is just as important to project the right sort of pictures ‘over here’ as it is to fire the right sort of cartridges ‘over there’"
reads the WWI ad.
