April 1962 demolition photo added courtesy Steve Oare. The Korkay System on the marquee is a cleaning supplies company founded in Gloversville in 1953. So it must have been their showroom prior to demolition.
The Darling Theatre in Gloversville was on a list of theaters designed by Leon H. Lempert & Son that was published in the 1906-1907 edition of the Cahn guide.
There is a photo of the Darling Theatre on page 103 of Gloversville, by Lewis G. Decker (Google Books preview.) The text says the Darling was located on Elm Street opposite Middle Street.
The Darling Theatre was showing movies at least as early as April, 1913, when this item appeared in The Moving Picture World:
The Darling was located on Elm Street.
The Darling theatre is briefly mentioned in Herbert M Engel’s book titled “Shtetl In The Adirondacks.”
