Both the Alhambra Theatre (listed as Alhambra Amusement Co.) 108-110 Bleecker Street and Majestic Theatre (no address given) are listed in 1914/1915.
Other early theatres listed are:
Bender Theatre
Empire Theatre, Bleecker Street
Family Theatre, 82 Bleecker Street
Idle Hour Theatre, 629 Bleecker Street
Lumberg Theatre, Washington near Lafayette Street
Mirth Theatre
Orpheum Theatre, 34 Lafyette Street
Savoy Theatre, 634 Bleecker Street
Star Theatre, 644 Bleecker Street

There is no Avon Theatre listed in the American Motion Picture Directory 1914-1915 edition, but that does not mean to say that an Avon Theatre didn’t open, in perhaps late 1915?
The 1937 film “Wings of the Morning” starred Henry Fonda, not Tyrone Power and was about horse racing. It could of course still have been the opening film in 1941. The only film starring Tyrone Power around the 1941 opening could have been in “A Yank in the RAF”.
