A “whites only” theatre in Harlem which operated from 1919 until at least 1922. Upstairs from this theatre, which was a neighbor to the legendary Cotton Club, was a restaurant/dance hall known as the Lenox Club (aka the Breakfast Club) which featured performances by, among others, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington.
The building was demolished for housing in 1958.
