I think there may be (perhaps with good reason) some caution about adding theaters on CT that historically have been regarded as functioning exclusively or nearly exclusively as playhouses. I do not know if it is policy, but it seems that for such a theater to be added, there seems to be a need for some evidence that films were shown there for some significant period of time on some sort of regular basis. If memory serves, it took a while for the Belasco in LA to get an entry here, because it seemed doubtful that films were ever shown there until someone apparently found newspaper evidence that they were. I suppose it can be a judgement call; for example, should Chicago’s Civic Opera House be listed because “Windjammer” was shown there? It isn’t listed at present. The question may be: “How often and how frequently does a theater need to function as a cinema before it can be listed here? ” Perhaps a moderator might care to comment.
It is just a guess, but in the case of the Cort, its performance history could have been checked by using newspapers and theater journals, yearbooks, and film exhibition publications.
