There is a photo circa 1943 on this tribute site to the police officer killed by Lee Harvey Oswald on 11/22/63. You have to scroll down for a while: http://tinyurl.com/34vkm3

We don’t have too many photos of this theater, so I’ll take what I can get. I often have lunch at the Subway immediately adjacent to the architectural atrocity that replaced the Town.
Here is another exterior photo. I think this was a revival showing of Godfather 2, not the original run, as it would have played for more than two days: http://tinyurl.com/yrcwsf
I remember this theater from the early eighties. The area around Reading Terminal was pretty shabby at that time. It appears that there have been a lot of improvements since.
Here are two interesting views from the Philadelphia Architects & Buildings site. The first is an architectural rendering. Note the different spelling. The second is a 1941 photo from the Irvin Glazer collection: http://tinyurl.com/2ubcn5 http://tinyurl.com/33hksc
Here is a vintage photo from the LAPL. Ignore the fake Christmas tree in the foreground:

Here is a new addition from the LAPL. The Town is visible on the east side of Hill Street:
