Update: July 1940. “Brother Orchid” at the Roosevelt. The Baer vs. Galento fight took place 07/02/40. So that is likely the film on the bottom of the marquee

Google Street View mistakenly goes to 5th Street, so one has to scroll around to find 4th Street and the former theatre building. None of the available edit options allow that correction to be made.
