Closed for films after three operators tried sound conversions in 1930, 1931 (with that ending in a gasoline doused fire that didn’t end the building) and a last try with RCA sound in 1932. It was vacated and later rented for proposed stage plays in 1938 that didn’t take place. Bottom line - not all silent venues could be used for sound purposes. Appears to be a sheet metal factory of some sort during World War II.
