When i was yong after the show was over we would clean the theater and the manager would give us a free pass for next week and they sold fresh soft pretzels

So it should be laundromat instead of drug store.

If the theater is at Erie & Marshall it would be in the 600 block of E. Erie. The map view looks right at that address:

The 1981 motion picture almanac lists the Hirsh Amusement Co. as operators of the Century, Spruce and Art theaters in Philadelphia. Hirsh’s main office was in the Century Theater building, 6th & Erie, Philadelphia.
