Thank you B-59 and swanq. We will add the street address when we update the record.

B-59 From the Wikipedia entry, it looks like the facade in question isn't from the Harris, but another theater.

Art Siegel Why? This photo is in the Wikipedia entry with the caption: "Wedding Bells at the Harris Theatre (1919)". According to Wikipedia, it was the Harris Theatre from 1911 until 1924, s. paragraph "254 West 42nd Street".
