The Crescent Theatre was opened November 27, 1916 and was equipped with a 2 manual Marr & Colton organ. It was operated by the same operators as the Star Theatre. The majority of the seating was provided in orchestra level, and there was a small balcony.

The Crescent Theatre had been closed for eleven years when plans to remodel and reopen it were announced in the April 11, 1941, issue of The Film Daily:
I haven’t been able to find anything else about the reopening, so I don’t know if the project was carried out or not, or if so whether the house reopened under its original name or another name.This opened on November 27th, 1916. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Hey Cinema Treasurers – if anyone has any info on the ticket pricing at the Crescent – or any other theater in ithaca around the 40s and 50s, I’d love to have it. I’m working on a research project about movie theaters in ithaca. Thanks in advance! Nathaniel
