The February 15, 1924, issue of The Scranton Republican said that M. E. Comerford would remodel a building at 234 Lackawanna Avenue as a location for the Manhattan Theatre on the ground floor an offices for the Scranton Railway Company on the upper floors.
The Manhattan Theatre might have been moving into this building from some other location. Comerford had been operating a theater of that name in Scranton since at least 1916, when the December 9 issue of the Republican listed seven of the theaters then under his control: “Regent, Manhattan, Bijou, Victoria and Orpheum on Lackawanna avenue and the Park and Family in West Scranton.”
