Here is the theater in July 2010.
Boxoffice of January 8, 1949, said that work had begun on a new theater in the Murray Hill district of Jacksonville. The architect was William Marshall. The caption of a photo of the Murray H ill Theatre on this web page also attributes the design to Marshall.
The caption also says the theater now “…operates as an alcohol-free, smoke free, night club featuring live faith based music.”
This is the theater’s web site, which says that the current operation is celebrating its 14th anniversary.
Here is an ad for a show at the Murray Hill in May 2008:

I attended movies in the Murray Hill many times as a child, and always enjoyed this neighborhood theatre. I remember a small stage with the curtains pinned back against the surrounding wall.
