The Elm Theatre dates back at least to 1920. It was renamed the Airport in 1942. The Airport crash landed on July 9, 1950 with “Crime Doctor’s Diary” and Pat O'Brien appropriately in “Flight Lieutenant.” The building was then offered for sale before being auctioned off in 1952 at end of lease.

After closing as a theatre, the building served as a union hall for a time. Today it’s a church. The exact address is 7030-34 Elmwood Avenue — Philadelphia PA 19142. Does anyone have a photo of this theatre when it was open? Any other info? Architect, style, operator? Please share.
