The Plaza Theatre closed permanently at end of lease on July 4, 1951 with “The Thing” and “Soldiers Three.”
This house was already called the Plaza by 1912, when the September 4 issue of The American Architect said that “…the Plaza Theatre, at Broad and Porter Sts.” had been acquired by William W. Miller, operator of the William Penn Theatre. The item mentioned Charles Oelschlager as architect for the project Miller planned to carry out on the site.
From Boxoffice magazine, 1/9/38:
The Plaza Theater, South Philadelphia, was conveyed last week by the Spiers Theater Realty Corp. to the Stanley Company of America for $13,496, subject to a mortgage of $16,000.
