The Goldman Theatre is also described by Barry Goodkin , with photos and blueprints in Vol 35 No. 3 (Third Quarter 2003) of Marquee, publication of Theatre Historical Society of America. Back issues can be ordered from them. The issue describes other Philadelphia theaters, and most especially the Earle.

Yes, yes, I am thrilled with the Ziegfeld’s beauty each time I enter to see a movie and very happy to have the experience. I just don’t say “Oh my!” there as much as I do when I visit the Loew’s Jersey in Jersey City.
LuisV, with respect, I disagree. Pre-WW2 movie palaces had different styles, ranging from neoclassic styles to atmospheric or exotic, to Art Deco. The New Amsterdam was built before the movie palace era, as Art Nouveau. The current Ziegfeld Theatre’s interior (the exterior being plain) clearly a neoclassic style. And, JodarMovieFan is right on the button- the Ziegfeld isn’t nearly as grand, as ornate, as palatial, as the Beacon. The Ziegfeld does have its own important history of film presentation and premieres, but judging from the photos, the Beacon has way more awesome architecture. Lamb’s Hollywood Theatre (which I have visited) is also more awesome.

Not going to happen.
Ziegfeld exterior is plain.
Landmarking the interior won’t ensure movies being shown- they could change it to restaurant, retail, etc.
If the owner wanted to donate it to a nonprofit foundation….then the economics of continued movie use might be better over time.
