Looking at the view on Google, the building is still standing. It’s being used for a variety of retail businesses.

This is a 1940 LOC photo of an abandoned theater in Silverton. I don’t believe this is the Lode, at least not the way it looks today.

This is the theater in 1940. Style is some kind of Middle Eastern variant.

kencmcintyre commented about Lincoln Theatre on May 8, 2009 at 5:26 pm

This is a 1927 photo of a theater at Broad and Lombard. The sign says Standard Theater, which makes me wonder if this was a different theater than the Lincoln.

OK, thanks.

I’m trying to place this theater at 40th and Market, photo is from 1949. It looks like it says “Ericka” on the marquee. If you recognize it let me know.

It looks like some newer houses have been built on the even side of Frankford in the 2900 block. No trace of any theater.

kencmcintyre commented about Belgrade Theatre on May 7, 2009 at 10:27 pm

Here is the view from Google. I guess they just stuccoed over whatever was on the front.
