Judging from the Google Maps satellite and street views, the building certainly looks as though it could have been a neighborhood movie theater before becoming the Beulah Church of God in Christ Jesus Inc. (one of the most entertaining church names ever.)
The building looks like it could be a neighborhood size theatre and also the location to that intersection.
That’s a good link. I use it on many addresses to see the buildings and neighborhoods for theatres.
I have uploaded a picture of the Art theater, cira 1940, from the NYC Tax Photo collection.
