Answer William,
A little searching on the internet can usually do the trick. After a 15 min search, I found a partial glimpse of the theater in 1940. See... http://brooklynpix.com/catalog30bk.php?locality_no=13401
If you still don't find something you sould contact the Williamsburg Community Board.
