I think that they meant a street block from 47th St. to 48th St. and even then I would take a guess that a street block is approximately 100' long (That’s rentable space not including sidewalks). Even Radio City is not a block long. …That’s not about half…. Only you and I know that but most people read the Title and Theatre name.

If text is to be believed, the Ziegfeld’s screen was half the width of that entire block of West 54th Street between Sixth and Seventh Avenues!
