One of the first movie palaces in Philadelphia was The Stanley Theater (1914) at 1620 Market Street, designed by W. H. Hoffman and later renamed the Stanton. During the silent era it featured a full orchestra. The theater was renamed The Milgram in 1968 and was demolished in 1980.[2] A second theater named the Stanley was also designed by Hoffman-Henon and opened at the southwest corner of 19th and Market in 1921. It had 2,916 and its own renowned orchestra. Al Capone was arrested at the theater in 1929. It was demolished in 1973 and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange was constructed on the site in 1982.[2] The Mastbaum Memorial Theatre (1929) was a 4,700 seat theater built at 20th and Market. The opulent theater was demolished 29 years later[2] The firm is also credited with the 2,200 seat art deco Bolivar Theater (1933) in Quito, Ecuador.[3] The Bala Theatre at 157 Bala Avenue in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania remains open as does the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts at 207 Seventh Street in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
