A friend told me he went to this theater when it was the Lincoln, and there was a bust of Lincoln in the lobby. He returned a few months later and it had gone from an art-house to gay porn, and the Lincoln bust had a blindfold on it.
bigjoe59, I believe that part of the building still remains as Max Brenners Chocolate, a store near that location. The exterior design looks the same and the building kind of gets cut off where a new building comes in, so I think that still remains.

This is from the 1948 film THE NAKED CITY
That’s Clark Gable
This building is now the iconic ukrainian restaurant Velselka
As of July 2020 there is a plaque outside of the theater stating that a Restoration was in progress as of 2016, but the building is simply abandoned.
