In late 1930, the theater was leased to Max A. Cohen's company, Excello Estates, which showed movies in it. According to Henderson, "Cohen bought the land underneath Wallack's in 1940 ... tore out the second balcony, put [[stadium seating]] in the orchestra" and replaced the facade "with a windowless sheet of bland [[stucco]]."<ref name="HG pp. 138-139" /> Cohen named it '''Anco Cinema''' after his wife Anne.<ref name="HG pp. 138-139" /> Cohen headed the Cinema Circuit,<ref
By the mid-1940s, the ten theaters along 42nd Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues were all showing movies; this led ''Variety'' to call the block the "biggest movie center of the world".<ref name="p1285899443" /> The Brandt family operated seven of these theaters, while the Cinema Circuit operated the other three.<ref name="p1285899443" /> The Cinema Circuit theaters, the New Amsterdam, Harris, and Anco, were all on the southern side of the street.<ref name="p1285899443" /><ref name="nyt-1977-06-192" /> By the late 1950s, the Anco was classified as a "reissue house", displaying reruns of films and changing its offerings twice a week. Tickets cost 25 to 65 cents apiece, the cheapest admission scale for any theater on 42nd Street. The Anco and the other 42nd Street theaters operated from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m., with three shifts of workers. The ten theaters on the block attracted about five million visitors a year between them.<ref
Cohen retired around 1961, and Mark Finkelstein took over full operation of the Cinema Circuit.<ref>{{harvnb|Henderson|Greene|2008|ps=.|p=103}}</ref> By the early 1960s, the surrounding block had decayed, but many of the old theater buildings from the block's heyday remained, including the Anco.<ref
=== Redevelopment ===
The 42nd Street Development Corporation had been formed in 1976 to discuss plans for redeveloping Times Square.<ref
* Northwest corner of 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue: now [[3 Times Square]]
* Northeast corner of 42nd Street and Broadway: now [[4 Times Square]]
* Southwest corner of 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue: now [[5 Times Square]]
* South side of 42nd Street between Seventh Avenue and Broadway: now 7 Times Square ([[Times Square Tower]])}} Ultimately, the 42nd Street Redevelopment Project was delayed for several years due to lawsuits and disputes concerning the towers.<ref
The New York state government acquired the sites of eight nearby theaters in April 1990 via [[eminent domain]].<ref>{{harvnb|Stern|Fishman|Tilove|2006|ps=.|p=693}}</ref><ref
