This theater was built too early to have DeAngelis as architect. Could this have been a Lempert project. DeAngelis did many remodel/modernization of Lempert theaters and may have been a Lempert protege.

The first ad for the Plaza Theatre is in January of 1917 which could be when it opened. It closed in 1929 without converting to sound. On November 28, 1939 as the improved Plaza Theatre relaunched with “Kentucky” and “Pride of the Navy.”

Architect was Michael DeAngelis. Seating was originally 500. Architectural style is actually Italian Renaissance. Was owned in the late ‘20s by Major L. J. Waterbury, who also owned the Staley in Rochester.

The plaza was open prior to 1925 and was no longer listed as open in 1931 but shows as open in 1935.
