A likely (current) address would be 83-12 Broadway. The theater building was directly adjacent to the 4 story brick at the corner of Broadway and Dongan Avenue.
According to the local newspaper, the Newtown Register of February 11, 1913, this theater opened that same afternoon as the Elmhurst Theatre. This appears to track as the theater does not show up on a 1908 map, but does on a 1915 map.
Taking a look at the buildings on both sides of the block between Dongan and the tracks, it appears that the theater building went the way of the old LIRR Elmhurst station itself. I don’t think that even the oldest structures there today date prior to the 1930’s or ‘20’s.
