Wow, I can’t get over how much the facade—the whole block!—has changed since I lived in the area in the mid-90s. The former supermarket tenant, ‘Extra Super Jumbo’, was basically jury-rigged inside the old theatre, with the old vaulted (and frescoed? if I recall) ceiling exposed. It made for a really surreal shopping experience. It looks like this most recent renovation has probably butchered whatever was left of the old theatre = \
