The card reads, "B. F. Keith's Theatre, Syracuse, N. Y. The Most Magnificent Theatre in all the Universe. ."
Good to known:  Earlier this month, work began at the former Sibley's Department Store in downtown Syracuse to transform the abandoned building into the
Redhouse Arts Center.
The arts center will include a flexible-space theater with seating for up to 400 people, a smaller theater which will hold up to 125 people and rehearsal rooms and classrooms.
Redhouse, which currently has a small theater in Armory Square, is spending million on the project and hopes to have a soft launch in March 2018.
The building at 400 Salina Street has been vacant for several years, its last major tenant was Sibley’s, which closed in 1989.
Before then it was home to Keith’s Theater, described when it opened in 1920 as "the New Million Dollar Temple of Vaudeville."
The founders of the B.F. Keith’s vaudeville theater chain called it "the most beautiful theater in America" and an article in the Herald-Journal in 1994 described it as "elegant, with its marble pillars, rich with its hangings and broad staircase, beckoning to the expensive loge, calling to the cheap seats in the balcony."
