The theatre was in the building to the left past the intersecting street on the Google image. The zoom feature is of no help in this instance.
Uploaded a photo of the elegant banquet hall which is in the space of the former auditorium.
The entrance to the Irish-American Center is at the corner; presumably that was also the case when a theater. The roof line of the auditorium begins some distance from the corner. The auditorium runs parallel to Willis Avenue with stores and apartments fronting the street.
Street view now works if you zoom.
According to the Mineola Historical Society the years of operation were from 1931-1952.
Newsday Movie Timetable in 1944 lists the theater as Williston Park, rightly or wrongly.
If the Historical Society is correct the theater only lasted one year after the renovation touted in the ad in the photo section.
