Street address of the theatre is Glassell, not Glassel.
A 1946 aerial view from the Historic Aerials wesbsite shows the auditorium of this theater. It had an awfully small footprint.

I was suspicious when I read on here that the building was demolished, because it looked very familiar. And I found out the building definitely wasn’t demolished. I went to Google Maps Street View to show this.

Look at the window frames on the building in the center and the squiggly roof line on the building on the left, and compare to the previous commenter’s images. On the middle building in the current picture, you can also see the window under where the old billboard used to be. So, the marquee and theater may be gone, but not the building itself.
Here are two photos from 1949:
