The Luna Theater which was located in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, opened in 1914 as the Auditore Maurice Theater. At some point in the 1910’s the name was changed to the Luna Theater. This theater closed in 1952.
The building became roofless and derelict, and was demolished in the late-2000’s.

As viewed in June 2006, the building has not quite been demolished, although derelict would be a correct description. The four walls still stand (including a modified facade), but there is no roof on the building.
Two photographs I took in June 2006 of the remains of the derelict Luna Theater:

Looks like it’s gone by the time the Googlemobile passed it by.
NYC Tax Photo added to CT Gallery, of the Luna theater as it looked in 1940. It was an Italian-language movie theater, in the Columbia Waterfront District of Brooklyn.
Thanks HomecrestGuy for the photo. The movie advertised was something like “Gloria d'Italia” I just wonder if it was a Mussollini oriented film – or not. At that time, a number of movie houses in German speaking areas like Bushwick and Ridgewood featured pro-Nazi movies. Just wonder if the same was true here.
