Auditorium Theatre

The Auditorium Theatre was located just two blocks from the beach at 1200 New York Avenue (at Reading Ave.) and closed just as it had opened — silent. Now demolished, a metal recycling business occupies the site of the former movie house. It would be interesting to know a few details. Like who was the architect and in what style was it designed? How many seats did it have and in what year did it open and close? And who had operated the theater? Hope someone can share some memories, and thanks!
