396-398 Hawthorne is now Pathways Academy school and Newark Boys & Girls Club. From the side of the building, it appears to be the former theater. http://tinyurl.com/56gk6d
It looks like the entire block between Hunterdon & Peshine has been plowed under and replaced by housing. This is on the odd side of the street, between 450 and 460, more or less. After you cross Hunterdon, the businesses are numbered in the 470s and 480s. I don’t believe the theater is still around, but I can’t say that definitively.
I don’t know if 1520 is the correct address. As pointed out previously, the street name is Solano. There is a martial arts place at 1516 and a soul food restaurant at 1526. Down the street, on the odd side, is an interesting building with what looks to be a vertical blade. Lots of windows for a former theater building, though.
Addendum: There is an inscription of “McGavick Building 1900” on the top of the Mexican restaurant. Since the two buildings are essentially one piece, that would date this building back to the beginning of the twentieth century.
There is a Mexican restaurant, address 618 Fourth Street, immediately to the right of this building. After this building there are several parking lots. Although the building looks old given the ads on the side, it could be anywhere from 620-628 Fourth, meaning the theater adjacent to it would be demolished. This is all speculation, however. http://tinyurl.com/6ge3tu
No, it doesn’t matter. I pointed out the clothing store to show that function should be retail.
Rite Aid is still listed, but that information could be outdated. The building may also be carved into separate businesses that use the same address.
Number seven on this list is a children’s clothing store that occupies at least part of the former theater:

Eye of the tiger was Rocky 3, 1982. Rocky 4 was 1990.

The Christ in Faith Baptist Church can be seen in this undated photo. The church was located at 404 S. Orange.

Joe’s Market at 1011 S. Orange looks big enough to have held 1021 seats. It could be the former Mayfair:

The vacant land is on the even side of the street. The odd side is a set of houses which look relatively new.
If I have to work all day on July 4th, and July 5th, allow me a little speculation to ease the pain.

The current occupant is the Afrikan Village church. The building doesn’t much resemble a theater these days:

There may have been a small building at 2336 that has glommed onto the tanning salon.
There’s nothing between 2332 and 2338. The pizza place looks too narrow to be a theater. The tanning building looks new.
