    Located in Elkins Park in Montgomery County suburbs immediately north of Philadelphia,
    the Yorktown Theatre was opened September 2, 1934, by 1941 it was operated by Warner Bros.
    In 1963 the theater was sold, it then showed mostly art /foreign films, in the 1970s
    the theater showed  X-Rated films. I believe it finally closed mid-1970s.
    As the theater was being gutted to be torn down I rescued some of the artifacts that were
    headed
    to the dumpster.
    This is the last piece I have left, it is an Art Deco light fixture end-cap.
    Will be packed with care
