.....................................................    A look up Park Avenue at Lexington Street offers a good view of the New Theatre. While the main entrance was located on Lexington Street for years, it has since been converted to a store and is impossible to spot. The entrance was moved to Park Avenue years ago, and continued to show movies into the 1980's. The theatre is now a clothing store.

...............................................................  At one time, the area surrounding the New Theatre had several movie theaters. To the East was Keith's, the Century/Valencia,  ; to the West , the Town, Hippodrome, and around the corner, was the Howard , while a couple of blocks north were the Stanley, Mayfair and Maryland. Movies haven't been shown in the area for years, and most of the old theater buildings have been torn down or razed, but the New Theatre building, while no longer showing movies, still stands. The area is slated for some type of renewal and I'm not quite sure how the New fits into those plans. The movie house closed down in the 1980's.

........... Part of the Lexington Mall, the entire block looks like something is due to happen to the New Theatre, and surrounding buildings. The New Theatre for years had it's entrance on Lexington Street.	..............      Looking south on Park Avenue at the castle facade of the New, in an area that is slated for some type of renovation. I'm not sure how the New Theatre works into the future for the area.
........... The Entrance was moved over to Park Avenue in the 1970's, where it is today, while the building is used for a clothing store. www.Kilduffs.com	................................. Postcard Views of the New, 1920's. .........................
