Demolished in 1954, a year before the Third Ave. El.
Photo, c. 1940, added to Gallery.
Please share that photo with us. There is none on CT
My grandfather ran the theatre probably in the early part of the 1900’s. I have a picture of him standing in front of the theatre. The marquis lists the movie as “Battle Cry for Peace”. I guess that dates the picture. I think that only one copy of the movie remains somewhere in scandinavia. A few reels are in Rochester at the Eastman Museum. Chuck Spector

The Tudor is still listed in the 1953 Film Daily Yearbook.
The picture in WEEGEE’S NAKED CITY(p.89) is of a corpse of a man killed in an auto accident.Two policemen stand over the newspaper-covered body. In the background is the marquee of the TUDOR which advertises Irene Dunne in Joy of Living and Don’t Turn Them Loose.
There is a famous photograph in Wegee"s THE NAKED CITY of a policemam standing over a bullet-ridden corpse on the sidewalk in front of the Tudor Theater.
The 1930 edition of F.D.Y. still has it listed as the Tuxedo Theatre with 617 seats.
