The correct adress is Nussdorferstraße 2–4. The history is much more complicated than presented here… https://www.kinthetop.at/forschung/kinthetop_9_KolosseumDetail01.html
The cinema has been demolished, only the very recognizable facade remains. Behind it, a totally new live theatre and music venue has been built for the “Teatr KTO”. https://teatrkto.pl/
Sorry, I got the description wrong. While it looks like an undivided back postcard (with the writing space on the front), the back is actually divided, hence probably produced shortly after 1907.

The history is richer, and a bit more complicated than this, and the building is not really demolished, but has been converted. It was built first in 1868 by Andrea Sacla as “Teatro delle Loge”, 1910 renamed “Folies Bergère”, 1935 converted into a variety theatre and cinema named “Teatro Imperiale”. 1954-1957 rebuilding by Nello Baroni and Maurizio Tempestini. Re-opened 23 May 1957 as “Cinema Capitol”. Closed ca. 1985 and abandoned. From 2000, it was converted into commercial space. (Source: it.wikipedia)
The photo seems to show the second of three Empire Theatres (the second and third were at the same site). The text describes the third, though. Detailed history at https://johannesburg1912.com/2013/07/29/theatres-in-early-johannesburg/
the back of this postcard reads: “Trolley Square. 550 South 700 East, Salt Lake City, Utah. Four modern movie theatres, seating 300 in each, are situated in what was once the old Rip Shop where trollies were repaired and maintained. Trolley Tower in the background stands 104 feet high as landmark of Trolley Square, a unique shopping and entertainment center located minutes from downtown Salt Lake City.”
This is not the “Newark Theater”/“Paramount Theatre” on 195 Market Street, but the former “Symphony Auditorium” on 935 Broad Street, built 1911, later renamed “Paramount Theatre” and used as a cinema for some time. Now demolished. See http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/theatres/index.php?cat=22

The texts and comments here and at CT 64291 are quite confusing. Is this now the same building (and/or site) as the “Airdome Theatre” or is it not? It would be great if someone could get it a bit clearer.
The two postcards titled “Opera Block” and “Opera House” seem to be from another, slightly earlier theatre. I have a postcard of this one titled “New Opera House” with undivided back, which should usually date it before 1907.
The theatre was actually opened as “Her Majesty’s” under the reign of Queen Victoria and changed to “His Majesty’s” after her death in 1901. With the accession to the throne of another queen in 1952, the theatre’s name was changed back to “Her Majesty’s” for the remainder of its days.

Sorry, I mistyped: sent in 1965.

Demolished in 2017: https://fr.le360.ma/culture/diapo-le-mythique-cinema-empire-de-meknes-demoli-120745
The address shows a parking lot on Google Maps, so I think this could be classified as not only “closed” but also “demolished”.

Are you sure? I think this is neither of those, but the first Poli’s Theatre in Worcester opened in 1905 at 28 Front Street.

I think this confuses two distinct theatres
on 236 Washington Street (1900-1911) http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/theatres/index.php?cat=15
and on 265 Washington Street (1912-1956) http://newarkbusiness.org/photos/theatres/index.php?cat=115

I have a postcard that says “opened in May, 1996”.

Apparently, the cinema has been occupied by a club since 2019 and is open again for a daily screening. See http://laclefrevival.com/
Google Maps at 14.668089, -17.431376 shows that the cinema has been demolished.
The theatre was actually opened as “Her Majesty’s” under the reign of Queen Victoria and changed to “His Majesty’s” after her death in 1901. With the accession to the throne of another queen in 1952, the theatre’s name was changed back to “Her Majesty’s” for the remainder of its days.
Re-opened in 2016 as a live theatre, “Teatro Riachuelo Rio”.
Since 2012 the building is used as a musical theatre, again named “Rossiya” (the Pushkin name has gone). See http://stage-musical.ru/
