The Tuxedo was one of two large Detroit neighborhood houses recently acquired by the Publix chain, according to the July 5, 1930, issue of Exhibitors Herald World. The other was the LaSalle Garden Theatre, which Publix renamed the Century.

This theater was in Highland Park, not Detroit. The site is currently an apartment building. Anyone know exactly what year it was demolished?
