Here is a December 1964 ad from the Auburn Citizen Advertiser:

The auditorium is definitely demolished, but the lobby portion may be intact. Can’t really tell from the google photos.
July 6 1950 and “UNTAMED BREED” and “ANGELS IN DISQUISE” are playing.
The Morgan, Auburn’s oldest movie house became the Cayuga in 1921 then Universal (it’s owners moved from 133 Genesee ST)in 1922, then the Palace in 1927. Actually the Palace ran well into the 1960’s and was demolished to make way for Auburn’s Urban Renewal Project. The spot is now part of Wegman’s Super Market.
The November 2, 1921 issue of Motion Picture News mentions this house under two of its earlier names: “H. M. Schwartzwalder has redecorated and renovated the old Cayuga theatre in Auburn, N. Y. and has reopened it under the name of the Universal.”
