The 1908 Sanborn shows a restaurant in the building at 620/622 Broadway. But in December 1908 and January 1909 the Gem Theatre was advertising at 622 Broadway. The Gem Theatre moved to the Beehive building at 722 Broadway by January 21, 1909. (A May 1909 article said that the theater had been in existence for over a year.) Sanborn again showed a restaurant at 620/622 in 1911. By 1914, the building was home to the Art Theatre.

In early 1922 Walter Eschenbach re-opened the 300-seat Art. It was managed by Charles Mazzone.

The Art was at 620 Broadway. It was initially operated by V.U. Young and C.J. Wolf. Young and Wolf owned several inter-related companies that in turn owned and or operated theaters. In September 1920 A.B. Marcus sold the Art to Julius Nussau.
