Does anybody have a picture of this theater? My dad used to take my mom here and buy her flowers across the street at Ed’s Florists at 601 E 31st st.

The 1951 map shows the theater at 508-512. The buildings to the east are still there, and are 514, and 516-518.

I’m not sure when this was demolished, but it was long gone by the 2007 streetview.
