According to a post from Theatre Architecture on Facebook, the theatre will be demolished.
“It is with great sadness that I announce the impending demolition of the Coyle theater in Charleroi Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh due to a lack of vision by city officials. This is the last theater in the Mon- Valley soon to be gone forever"😥
The building that house the Marcy is no more, it’s been demolished. I had planned to take some pics from the Jamaica-bound J platform but I didn’t get the chance.
Here is a tax photo, circa 1939-41. [http://nycma.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/detail/NYCMA~7~7~846002~746244?sort=borough%2Cblock%2Clot%2Czip_code&qvq=q:723%20manhattan%20avenue;sort:borough%2Cblock%2Clot%2Czip_code;lc:NYCMA~7~7&mi=4&trs=]
A very nice looking interior.
I would love to own a little theatre like this.
Does the church own the building? My mom attended many shows there. I wonder, do they allow people to take photographs?
I ate many times at New China Buffet and saw a few movies
It’s great that this beauty escaped the fate of so many grand theatres, demolition.
Were stage shows ever presented at the Ascot?
It’s a shame there are no interior pictures posted.
This is all gone?
Were people of color kept out of working as a projectionist in certain movie theatres?
I went to Liberty yesterday (1/29/2020). Was the theatre gutted to the bricks or does anything survive of the old theatre?

I hope no one was hurt.
I feel sorry for the lady in the ticket booth, having to sell all those tickets with no help.
Did this theatre ever go to porno before finally closing>

Would have been cool if they named it Regal Delancey.
Might there be any remnants of the old theatre. Or perhaps it was completely gutted.
I passed by today and saw that the former theatre is available for lease. The furniture store is no longer there.
Is this the theatre by the Pelham Bay 2/5 train? I was on the BX12 bus today and I saw a movie theatre a feet away from the elevated station.
Was it a grand theatre inside? I remember passing by as a kid with my grandmother after church and the lobby was small. This was in the early 1970’s.

I added two new photos

Too bad there are no photos of the old interior when it first opened
At least when an old theatre is showing ‘smut’ we can get in to see the once grand place. It’s better than having it shuttered and demolished.
