It looks like the building is still standing, or at least it was when the Google photo was taken. If you compare the Google photo to the ones on Cinematour, it looks like a match.
This is what I was looking at. I guess the parking lot was the other half. Since we don’t have anything for partially demolished, it can stay as it is.

It looks like all one design, to me. Then they tore down the theater part later and left the other part standing.
The corner section of the building that is now an empty lot was the Theater. The rest of the building had nothing to do with it.
The comment above is wrong. The shops had the auditorium behind them, and were part of the theater complex. The lobby was on the corner, and was torn down in 1997. The theater was built in the ‘30s, and closed in the late '60s. The entire structure was demolished in 2021. The site is now apartments. I doubt any of the gorgeous tile work was salvaged.
Definitely open well before 1943, and again, the auditorium was not demolished until 2021.
