The Warner Theatre was opened on May 17, 1950 and served the community well as a second run house, the then parent company, RKO-Stanley Warner, gave up the lease on the Warner Theatre in the mid-1970’s. New tenants twinned the auditorium on January 20, 1978, crudely using little more than a plywood room divider. After twinning, projection, sound and sight lines all suffered and the Warner Twin Cinema I & II limped along before closing and being converted to a senior center.

“We are also fortunate to have a Community Center located at the site of the former Warner Theater, offering the citizens of Harrison a variety of recreational activities.”

the wording of this leads me to believe that the building was demolished.
I believe that this is the address:
Harrison Community Center
401 Warren St
Harrison, NJ 07029-1707

The building still stands, they just renovated the interior. I saw many movies there before and after the split. The theater had a great balcony but was closed after the the two screens were installed.The divider was so poorly made that you could clearly hear the movie in the next theater.
Two screens opening on January 20th, 1978. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Opened May 17th, 1950. Grand opening ad posted.
