The 8th Avenue marquee can be seen in the below video at 1:48 and 2:59, and the 42nd Street marquee at 3:03. The head end is Chicago, so they have the description reversed.

10 Days in a Nudist Camp is currently available for viewing on Amazon Prime Video.
Somebody felt the need to get a lot of coverage of 10 Days in a Nudist Camp. IMDB lists it as a 1952 documentary by Samuel Cummins ~ “A documentary that profiles nudism and its lifestyle around the world.” Reviewer comments are none too favorable.
A great marquee shot can be seen here
On a recent re-run of Burns and Allen, the Eighth Avenue marquee was in view for several seconds as Ronnie drove up the avenue.
Those are wonderful photos William added to this page. Thanks!
Still listed in the 1959 Film Daily Yearbook as a J.J. Theatre, as is the Tivoli.

I don’t remember this one either. But with that programming, Dad probably made certain that my eyes focused on the main 42nd Street marquees.
Brings back a memory of seeing an action double feature at the Empire in the 50s but the “Coming Attractions” were for a nudist film at another theater. Dad put his hat in front of my eyes and laughed.
Great info, this is the first I have ever heard of this theatre.
