I’m not sure where people got the idea the marquee is gone. I live a few blocks from this old theater and I can say for certain it is still there. It boasts “Waverly Main Street” across it. The theater was purchased by a non-profit organization acouple years ago and hope lives on it can be re-purposed as a theatre. I’m told if you poke your head above the dropped ceiling in the stores that have been carved into the old auditorium, one can still see the theater’s ceiling.
Per overview and photo above, this theatre had 2 screens not 1.when it closed.
Please update.

Sorry to see the marquee is gone. I loved seeing it on Greenmount before turning at 33rd street heading to Memorial Stadium to see the O’s.
The marquee is gone now, but strangely enough more “dancing ladies” friezes have been added to the facade since the ‘80s!

Major scandal involving this theatre.

I guess Ewald G. Blank should be listed as the architect, according to the post of 2/7/08. Here is another photo:

The Boulevard wasn’t twinned until at least the early 1980s. The original house had a deeply curved screen…wonder if it was ever equipped for 70mm?
Naturally, this was one of F.H. Durkee’s properties.
It was a $10 and Under store a few years ago.
