This was the ‘third’ Newburgh theatre operated by George Cohen back in the 1910’s and 1920’s (the Royal Theatre is listed in the 1914/1915 edition of Motion Picture Directory)
His primary outlet was Cohen’s Opera House on Broadway (which later became the Ritz Theatre after 1930). His second rank theatre was the Star Theatre, on Lander Street north of Broadway. The Royal Theatre was located on Colden Street in Newburgh, just north of Broadway.
The Royal Theater was closed around 1930, and has been demolished.

A 1913 Sanborn map of Newburgh shows “Moving Pictures” at 13 S. Colden Street, a few doors south of 1st street. There were no other theaters between that and Broadway, so that one must have been the Royal. Unfortunately, neither Google Maps nor Apple Maps nor Bing maps will show that address in its proper location, all three displacing it several blocks south. Addresses work fine on Water street, one block east, but fail on Colden Street. The entire neighborhood from the west side of Water Street to Grand Street has been ravaged by an Urban Removal project. The Royal’s site is now part of a park.
