This one can be tagged as demolished. A building that appears to be a school now occupies this block. The theater site was on the north side of York west of Front, roughly around the back end of the blue tile-covered building as seen on Street View.
Here is a photo from the Philadelphia Buildings & Architects site, from the Irvin Glazer collection:

That’s why I try to avoid adding theaters for some of these cities that have several hundred listings. Unless you go through each one, odds are that you will be duplicating an entry somewhere.
The 1941 Philadelphia directory has a listing for a New Broadway at Hope & York Streets, which I assume is this theater. There is also a listing for a Ruby Theater at Franklin and Fairmount Avenues. That may be listed here under some other name.
