Interboro Theatre (Q6045571)

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Interboro Theatre was built in the 1920s and originally called the Interborough for a rapid transit route expansion that never came to pass. It was at 3462 East Tremont Avenue between Barkley Boulevard and Eastern Boulevard, now Bruckner, in the Throggs Neck section of The Bronx, New York. The first movie shown was Seventh Heaven in 1927. It hosted a variety of silent films and shows. A lice problem led to it becoming known as "The Itch". As it competed with television various draws were offered to get people in the door. It closed in 1995 and became a market and offices for the board of education.
