Thank God the Uptown is still standing. I was in it a few times & it is eye popping
The initial picture on the link is the Loews Kings in Brooklyn. It was one of the 5 Loews Wonder Theaters. It has sat abandoned & rotting away for 3 decades. It is unbeliveably being renovated. If they can bring it back, it would be astounding. Over 4 000 seats and most of them in the orchestra
Here is a list of the of the more ornate ones lost to progress:

Paradise
Granada
United Artists
Belmont
Southtown
Marbro
Nortown
Philadelphia
Mastbaum - Over 4000 seats
